Why did Hashem tell Moshe to form the trumpets out of one piece of
silver, after he had difficulty fashioning the Menorah out of one piece of
gold?
The trumpets were used to gather the Nesi’im together, as well as to signal
the time to travel, according to the nation’s encampment around the
Mishkan. Bnei Yisrael encamped according to rank. The trumpets testified
to their unity. Even though they are all part of one nation, there are
different levels of distinction. But this should not take away from their
unity. Unity reigns supreme when each shevet recognizes his place, and
at the same time, respects the other shevatim for their virtues.
Moshe had difficulty fashioning the Menorah, for he had not yet learned
the great secret hidden within it. Only after Hashem explained it to him,
did he understand. But Moshe understood the message of the trumpets
immediately, and therefore did not have difficulty with fashioning them.
For they alluded to the virtue of unity among the nation.
