It was placed in the Holy Place, opposite the table of showbread. The menorah had seven branches, which is significant as the number seven often represents completeness or perfection in the Bible. The utensils associated with the lampstand included tongs and trays, used for maintaining the lamps. The lampstand is a type of Christ, who is the Light of the World (<a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>). The light from the lampstand illuminated the Holy Place, just as Christ illuminates the spiritual darkness of the world.<p><b>shall be made from a talent of pure gold</b><br>A talent was a significant weight, approximately 75 pounds or 34 kilograms, indicating the substantial value and importance of the lampstand and its utensils. Pure gold signifies purity and holiness, reflecting the divine nature of God. The use of gold in the Tabernacle's construction underscores the sacredness of the space and the worship conducted within it. Gold's incorruptibility symbolizes the eternal and unchanging nature of God. The meticulous instructions for the construction of the lampstand and its utensils highlight the importance of obedience to God’s commands and the reverence due to Him. The use of pure gold also points to the heavenly reality, as described in <a href="/revelation/21-18.htm">Revelation 21:18</a>, where the New Jerusalem is depicted as having streets of pure gold.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the instructions for the tabernacle from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary where God dwelled among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/l/lampstand.htm">Lampstand (Menorah)</a></b><br>A seven-branched lampstand made of pure gold, symbolizing the light of God and His presence among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/u/utensils.htm">Utensils</a></b><br>Various tools and implements associated with the lampstand, also made of pure gold, used in the service of the tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The mountain where Moses received the law and instructions for the tabernacle from God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_light.htm">Symbolism of Light</a></b><br>The lampstand represents God's presence and guidance.
