How the Menorah was Made
The Hebrew word menorah means “lampstand,” translated as “candlestick” in the King James Bible. The original menorah, made for the Tabernacle, was solid gold with seven oil lamps, a central stem, and three branches on each side (Exodus 25:31–37; 37:17–24). It burned pure olive oil (Exodus 27:20) and featured an almond motif.
The menorah symbolizes:
1. Purity: It used pure olive oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit’s influence and the need for purity to enter God’s kingdom.
2. Light: Represented Jesus Christ as the light of the world (John 8:12), it signified following Him and receiving the Holy Ghost's guidance.
3. Covenants: It illuminated the Tabernacle, the place to make covenants. It was also meant to represent the light that covenant-makers should share with others.
4. Wholeness and Divine Presence: Through repentance and covenant-keeping, the menorah represented the power of Christ’s Atonement to make people whole when entering God’s presence.
