Candlestick the lamp -
stand , "
candelabrum ,"
which Moses was commanded to make for the tabernacle ,
according to the pattern shown him .
Its form is described in Ex .
25 :

24 ,
and may be seen represented on the Arch of Titus at Rome .
It was among the spoils taken by the Romans from the temple of Jerusalem (
A .
D .
70 ).
It was made of fine gold ,
and with the utensils belonging to it was a talent in weight .
The tabernacle was a tent without windows ,
and thus artificial light was needed .
This was supplied by the candlestick ,
which ,
however ,
served also as a symbol of the church or people of God ,
who are "
the light of the world ."
The light which "
symbolizes the knowledge of God is not the sun or any natural light ,
but an artificial light supplied with a specially prepared oil ;
for the knowledge of God is in truth not natural nor common to all men ,
but furnished over and above nature ."
This candlestick was placed on the south side of the Holy Place ,
opposite the table of shewbread (
Ex .
27 :
21 ;
30 :
7 ,
8 ;
Lev .
24 :
3 ;
1 Sam .
3 :
3 ).
It was lighted every evening ,
and was extinguished in the morning .
In the morning the priests trimmed the seven lamps ,
borne by the seven branches ,
with golden snuffers ,
carrying away the ashes in golden dishes (
Ex .
25 :
38 ),
and supplying the lamps at the same time with fresh oil .
What ultimately became of the candlestick is unknown .
In Solomon '
s temple there were ten separate candlesticks of pure gold ,
five on the right and five on the left of the Holy Place (
1 Kings 7 :
49 ;
2 Chr .
4 :
7 ).
Their structure is not mentioned .
They were carried away to Babylon (
Jer .
52 :
19 ).
In the temple erected after the Exile there was again but one candlestick ,
and like the first ,
with seven branches .
It was this which was afterwards carried away by Titus to Rome ,
where it was deposited in the Temple of Peace .
When Genseric plundered Rome ,
he is said to have carried it to Carthage (
A .
D .
455 ).
It was recaptured by Belisarius (
A .
D .
533 ),
and carried to Constantinople and thence to Jerusalem ,
where it finally disappeared .
