beat

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Much in the tabernacle was to be made of beaten work (Ex. 25:18,31,36), in contrast to “molten,” as idols were often made. The cherubim and the mercy-seat were to be beaten out of one piece, (Ex. 37:7): the candlestick also was beaten work of pure gold (Ex. 37:17,22).
