Footnotes
The *menorot* (lampstands) of pure gold flanking the Holy of Holies echo and multiply the single *menorah* of the Tabernacle (Exod. 25:31–40). Ten lampstands—*eser*, the number of covenantal completeness—declare that YHWH's light fills the sanctuary on every side, leaving no corner of darkness. The lampstands also resonate forward with the seven lampstands of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 1–4, where fire and Spirit illuminate the presence of the living God. FOG preserves the Hebrew *menorot*; FOG Message renders 'lampstands' to keep the liturgical and eschatological resonance accessible.
