What is the meaning of "v'Neroseihem Zahav"?
'Rashi': The weight of each Ner.
Malbim (Melachim I, 7:49): It is a Chidush that the Neros were of gold only according to the opinion (Menachos 88b) that they are not from the Kikar [of gold used to make the Menorah].
Why does it say "b'Mishkal Menorah u'Menorah"?
'Rashi': Shlomo made 10 Menoros. Radak - five were to the right of Moshe's, and five to the left.
What are "Menoros ha'Kesef"?
Radak: We do not find that Shlomo made them. It seems that they are to illuminate chambers in which Kohanim eat and sleep.
Malbim: Shlomo did not make silver Menoros [only of gold], for silver was not considered at all in his days. David did not know that Shlomo will be so wealthy.
How were they "ka'Avodas Menorah u'Menorah"?
'Rashi': They had the same Kelim as used to serve the [gold] Menorah, e.g. tongs and spoons used to scoop out ashes, and the same weight.
Malbim: A gold Menorah must be just like the Torah said, and from a Kikar. A silver Menorah need not be from a Kikar (Menachos 27); they could have different weights.
