The illuminating power of knowledge

The clarifying light of Biblical Hebrew

The Temple in Jerusalem was world famous for its astounding architecture and the beauty of the utensils used by the priests. One of the most recognizable of these utensils was the the seven-branch lampstand. The original Hebrew word for this lamp in Exodus 25 is menorah (מנורה). Although the Temple is no longer in existence today, the same word – menorah – is used to refer to the nine-branch candelabrum which is still lit on the festival of Hanukkah.
Did you know that the word menorah comes from the word nur which means “flame” or “torch”? When you are able to read the Bible in the original Hebrew you are armed with a powerful tool of illumination. No longer do you need to abide in the darkness of translation. Mysterious passages will suddenly click into focus when you shine the clarifying light of authentic Hebrew knowledge on the text.
