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 crafted from one solid piece of hammered gold. The Menorah burned continuously and was tended daily by the priests. It symbolizes God as the source of light 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 imagery.
The seven-branched golden lampstand that stood in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle and Temple, burning pure olive oil to give light continually before the LORD.
