Menorah Symbolism and History - Jewish Candelabrum Explained #3437809 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts the classic seven-branched menorah, modeled after the one described in Exodus 25:31-40 for the Tabernacle and later used in the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. Each arm holds an oil cup, representing the seven days of creation or the seven classical planets in some interpretations. The design emphasizes symmetry, holiness, and continuity of Jewish heritage.

Used on educational, religious, or cultural websites discussing Judaism, biblical artifacts, Hanukkah (though the Hanukkah menorah has nine branches), or temple history; ideal for articles, museum exhibits, or interfaith resources where visual clarity and symbolic accuracy matter.
