The golden seven-branched lampstand (menorah) placed in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle, providing light and symbolizing God's presence; later a central furnishing of the Jerusalem Temple
The gold menorah in the tabernacle and temple, with seven branches holding oil lamps that burned continuously (Exodus 25:31-40). Symbolized God's light and presence. In Revelation 1:20, seven lampstands represent the seven churches.

Exodus 26:31-35The lampstand is positioned outside the veil on the south side of the Holy Place — one of the furnishings priests tended daily, marking the space where regular sacred service occurred just short of God's innermost presence.
