The original menorah was designed for use in the Holy Tabernacle in the wilderness before Israel entered the Promised Land (Exodus 25:31-39). It is said that the Judean Sage grew in the wilderness and the Israelites copied it after G-d showed it to Moses. After the conquest of Canaan, it remained in the Holy Tabernacle (Joshua 18:1) and was later used in the Holy Temple King Solomon built.
The menorah is a lampstand with a longstanding tradition in both the Bible and the history of Jewish people. The word itself is a transliteration of a Hebrew word. It was first mentioned in Exodus 25:31-39:
“Make a lampstand of pure gold and hammer it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds, and blossoms shall be of one piece with it. Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand-three on one side and three on the other. Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. And on the lampstand, there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.”
“One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair-six branches in all. The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. Its wick trimmers and trays are to be of pure gold. A talent of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories.”
