9554. 'Shall be of one piece with it' means that both must form part of the spiritual springing from celestial good. This is clear from the meaning of the lampstand, of which the pomegranates and flowers 'shall be [one piece]', as the Divine Spiritual which springs from the Divine Celestial, dealt with above in 9548. From this it is evident that 'they shall be of one piece with it' means that they must form part of the spiritual springing from celestial good.
