Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּר (nur), meaning "to shine" or "to give light."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for מְנוֹרָה is λυχνία (G3087), which is used in the New Testament to refer to lampstands. In Revelation 1:12-13, the term λυχνία is used to describe the seven golden lampstands, which symbolize the seven churches. This imagery draws on the rich symbolism of the menorah as a bearer of divine light and presence. Usage: The term מְנוֹרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the lampstand that was an integral part of the furnishings of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. It is often associated with the seven-branched lampstand made of pure gold, which was used for lighting the sanctuary. Context: The מְנוֹרָה (menorah) is a significant symbol in the Hebrew Bible, representing divine light and presence. It was first described in Exodus 25:31-40, where God instructs Moses on its construction. The menorah was to be made of pure gold, with a central shaft and six branches, three on each side, making a total of seven lamps. It was adorned with almond blossoms, buds, and flowers, symbolizing life and growth.
