This verse uses "man" in a masculine sense, meaning thoughts and ideas in the intellect. Leaving father and mother means leaving the former state of internal spiritual awareness, and cleaving to his wife means being conjoined instead with the external awareness of life. Being one flesh means that the internal of the man and the external of the wife were together as one in life.

The people of the Most Ancient Church wanted to live from themselves. So the Lord created in them the capacity to feel that, though it meant they had to descend from the spiritual awareness they had enjoyed. But they weren't bad people; they still loved the Lord and wished to be good. They just wanted to feel that they were doing it themselves. By having the man cleave to the wife, the Lord allowed the people's higher internal states to enter into their external lives and be part of that sense of self, so they could indeed love the Lord as if from themselves.

9574. 'A talent of pure gold shall [be used to] make it, together with all these vessels' means celestial good from which spiritual good together with its factual knowledge springs. This is clear from the meaning of 'a talent of pure gold' as one good from which all things spring, for 'a talent' means one, and 'gold' good, 9549; and 'vessels', which too must consist of the same good, means factual knowledge, 9557, 9559, 9560, 9563, 9564. For the meaning of 'vessels' in general as truths and factual knowledge, see 3068, 3079, 9394, 9544. Since good must be the all in everything that is brought forth and derived, so that celestial good must be in spiritual forms of good, and from these in factual knowledge, 9568, it therefore says that the lampstand shall be made from pure and solid gold, 9549, 9550; that the shaft, branches, cups, pomegranates, and flowers shall be of [one piece with] it, 9551-9554; and at this point that it shall be made, together with all its vessels, from a talent of pure gold.
