Exodus 25:23-40 and Exodus 37:10-24 1 Kings 7:49 and 2 Chronicles 4:7-8 Why did one lampstand and one table in the wilderness tabernacle become ten lampstands and ten tables in Solomon's Temple? |

Greetings, The 10 lamps mentioned in 1 kings were to light the temple. The lamp in Exodus was different all together. It had one primary light, and three branches coming off on each side of it, for a total of 7 lit branches. This was used in the jewish festival of lights, and is an important part of jewish tradition. It's the same used during hannika (Sorry, I know my spelling is horrible). Jalek |

Greetings Jalek! You meant 'Chanukkah' or 'Hanukkah' I think. The menorah of Hanukkah has eight lights and a place for the servant which lights the others, so nine altogether. This represents the miracle in which God caused one day's worth of oil to last for eight days. The festival of lights commemorates that miracle, which is not a part of the mosaic law. The seven-branched menorah of the tabernacle was a part of the mosaic law and therefore is connected to Jesus. Your point about lighting the Temple was a good reminder of the functionality of all lamps. What I wonder about is whether there is significance to ten lamps here since ten has significance in many other places in Scripture. Any ideas? loavesnfish |
