Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, the lampstand held significant religious importance, particularly in the context of the Tabernacle and the Temple. The menorah, a seven-branched lampstand, was a central fixture in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. It symbolized the light of God's presence and His guidance for the Israelites. The menorah was crafted from pure gold and was kept burning continually as a perpetual light before the Lord (Exodus 25:31-40).
