Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 25:39

"Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels." — Exodus 25:39 (ASV)

Of a talent of pure gold. —There are various estimates of the value and weight of the Hebrew gold talent, but none of them places it much below £4,000 of our money. Some carry the estimate as high as £10,000 or £11,000.

Shall he make it. —“He” refers to the artificer by whom the candlestick would be constructed.
