A Talent Of Pure Gold

Exodus 25:34-40 (ESV Strong's)

34 And on the lampstand itself there shall be four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, 35 and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out from the lampstand. 36 Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. 37 You shall make seven lamps for it. And the lamps shall be set up so as to give light on the space in front of it. 38 Its tongs and their trays shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made, with all these utensils, out of a talent of pure gold. 40 And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being shown you on the mountain.

Matthew 25:14-15 (ESV Strong's)

14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.

The talent of pure gold for the lampstand in the tabernacle corresponds with the talents given to the servants in Matthew. We have received the light of the Lord. When He returns He will look for what we have done with that light according to our ability. He will reward us accordingly. The one who has will be given more.
