- candlestick:
- Menorah, rather, a chandelier, which was of pure gold, and is described as having one shaft, with six branches proceeding from it, adorned at equal distances with six flowers, like lilies, with as many bowls and knops placed alternately. "And thou shalt makeª° a candlestickª [of] pureª gold:ª [of] beaten workª shall the candlestickª be made:ª° his shaft,ª and his branches,ª his bowls,ª his knops,ª and his flowers,ª shall be¹ of¹ the same. ...
