Lampstand

The lampstand or menorah was a stand on which one or more oil lamps could be placed.

The word menorah nowadays mostly evokes the seven-armed lampstand, an important symbol in Judaism. But in the Bible, the word is not only used for the lampstand in the tabernacle and the Temple. In the story of Elisha and the woman from Shunem, in 2 Kings 4:10 for instance it says, “Let's build a small room on the roof, put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp (menorah) in it, and he can stay there whenever he visits us.” We also do not know for certain what the lampstands in the Temple of Solomon looked like.
