Its branches and its lamps should not be made individually and then attached, as is the custom of the smiths (through a process)… soldering, but it must come entirely from one piece.”); its base and its stem, its goblets, its knobs, and its flowers shall (all) be (one piece) with it. And six branches coming out of its sides… And you shall make its lamps (Rashi: “Sort of cups into which the oil and the wicks were put.”) seven… And its ‘malkocheha’ (Rashi: “They are the tongs made to take the wicks from the oil.”) and its ‘machtoseha’ (Rashi: “They are a kind of small cup with which he (the kohain) would scoop the ashes that are in the lamp every morning.”) (shall be) of pure gold… He shall make it of a talent (-Link) (Rashi: “ Its weight along with all its implements shall be nothing but a talent, no less and no more.”) of pure gold, with all these implements…” Hence, we have two all-encompassing rules to the menorah: (i) That it all be hammered out of one piece of gold, and (ii) that the weight of the menorah be exactly one talent (a weight measurement).

Rabbi Nechemya says: (Only the) menorah is produced from the talent, but its lamps and its tongs and its pans are not produced from that talent.” Maimonides (-Link) rules (-Laws of Beis HaBchirah, Chapter 3, Law 4 & 6), “The menorah is made out of gold, its total (weight) including its lamps shall be one talent… for the lamps were permanently fixed in the menorah, and were included in the talent.” Rashi, in his commentary on the Torah is concerned only with the simple meaning of the verse (even if it doesn’t coincide with the Talmud’s legal ruling upon the subject discussed in the verse!). Hence we find that Nachmanides (-Link) states that being that everything that
