Word Origin: Derived from λύχνος (luchnos), meaning "lamp" or "light." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - מְנוֹרָה (menorah): Strong's Hebrew 4501, referring to the lampstand used in the Tabernacle and Temple. Usage: The term "luchnia" refers to a lampstand, a stand or holder designed to support a lamp. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to represent the church or the presence of God's light in the world. The lampstand is a symbol of illumination, guidance, and the presence of God among His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, the lampstand held significant religious importance, particularly in the context of the Tabernacle and the Temple. The menorah, a seven-branched lampstand, was a central fixture in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. It symbolized the light of God's presence and His guidance for the Israelites. The menorah was crafted from pure gold and was kept burning continually as a perpetual light before the Lord (Exodus 25:31-40).
