Menorah (Golden Lampstand)
God gave Moses the precise design for the Menorah: a central shaft with three branches on each side, decorated with almond blossoms, buds, and flowers (Exodus 25:31–40). It was made of one talent of pure hammered gold. The Menorah burned pure olive oil and was tended by the priests daily. It symbolizes God as the light of the world and points to Jesus, who declared Himself "the light of the world" (John 8:12). John's vision of the seven lampstands in Revelation 1 draws on this symbolism.
The seven-branched golden lampstand that stood in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle and Temple, giving light continually before the Lord.
