Bezalel possessed such great wisdom that he could combine those letters of the alphabet[4] with which heaven and earth were created; this being the meaning of the statement (Exodus 31:3): "I have filled him ... with wisdom and knowledge", which were the implements by means of which God created the world, as stated in Proverbs 3:19, 20 (Berakhot 55a). By virtue of his profound wisdom, Bezalel succeeded in erecting a sanctuary which seemed a fit abiding-place for God, who is so exalted in time and space

The first subject of the Torah we give to children is the Alphabet. This is a matter that mankind cannot comprehend, nor can it rise in their minds, not to mention saying it with their mouths. Even supernal angels and the most sublime can not comprehend it, as these matters are the mysteries of the Holy Name.
Exodus 37:17,
Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold
The lampstand, or menorah, was crafted by Bezalel, a skilled artisan filled with the Spirit of God.

Numbers 8:4,
Now this is how the lampstand was made: it was hammered work of gold, hammered from base to petal. According to the pattern that יהוה had shown Moses, so was the lampstand made.

Rashi
according to the shape ("tavnit") which he had shewn him on the mountain, as it is said, (Exodus 25:40) and see, that thou make them after their pattern [which was shewn thee in the mountain]".
I guess the "tavnit" has no weight
like "the word in the beginning" has no weight.
The menorah became weighty like the word became flesh!

Moses said: ‘Master of the universe, the talent is in the fire. Just as You will it, so it will be crafted.’ Immediately, the candelabrum emerged, crafted in accordance with its specifications. That is why it is written: “Like the vision that the Lord showed Moses” (Numbers 8:4); “so Moses crafted the candelabrum” is not written here, but rather, “so was it made” without elaboration. Who crafted it? It was the Holy One blessed be He.
