This light of the universe in a way and light the symbolizes our soul, the luminance of the light of science to express the point of the motion, Menora also the continuity and eternity of the science symbolized eder.kısa by Menorah or the Menorah , Jerusalem Temple 's and tents Temple 's ( Mishkan ) (Hebrew: משכן ) Candlestick with seven arcs burned with olive oil . It is one of the oldest symbols of the Jews.
Madraş tells Moshe Rabenu that he draws him with red, white, black and green fires so that he can clearly see Menora and reveal it to Moshe Rabenu and describe how he will make it. The instruction of God to Moshe Rabenu is just like this:
"And you will make a candlestick from the bottom of it, and the chalice of the candlestick, and the branches thereof, with the hammer, and the heads, the bowls, and the flowers will be made in one piece. The Scheme (Exodus 25: 31-30).
Moshe Rabenu gave this description of this Divine Reason to Betsalel Ben Uri Ben Hur from the Yeuda Tribe, a very talented illustrator and artist who descended down Mount Sinay, holding the Menorah figurine which God had drawn with his fires in the mountains.
The size of the menora will be an average human size or slightly longer, with the middle central arm on each side and three more arms on either side. In the heads of the arms will be almond-shaped chests filled with pure olive oil. The menora will be made in one piece under one piece, tattoo workmanship, only with a hammer.
Menora and Symbolic
Menora has many symbolic meanings. The first meaning means "Permanent Light". After God created the place and the chest, he said in his first instruction, "Let there be light." This light symbolizes the unity of our universe and our souls, and from the point that it expresses the light of science of light, Menora symbolizes the continuity and infinity of science at the same time.
Menora is a seven-armed, arithmetic, geometry, astrology, simia, rhetoric, music and ethnic symbols, which are the seven main foundations of the Ancient Period Science.
Menora's 7 lights symbolize 7 days of creation. Six working days and the seventh day of rest, the Sabbath.
Menora also represents the 7 weeks (Sheva Shavuot) between the abandonment of the Israelites by Egypt and the purchase of the Torah on the skirts of Mount Sinaj. Menora in this context; The time between the happiness of freedom and the necessity of discipline is the basis of the idea that the freedom without discipline is not liberty but a head disorder.
The distance between the center arm and the other arms in the menora is equal to the height. This is according to the central law symbolizing justice, and the state of their side is the indication of equality towards justice.
In the Middle Ages these 7 arms symbolize 7 planets in astrological sense; The sun in the middle and three planets on both sides. The claimant was Philon, a Greek Jewish physician, who lived in Alexandria in 40 BC. According to Philon, which is understood to be influenced by Hermes philosophy, the light in the center is the symbol of the universe, the sun. Inspired by Philo's "Tora", Allegorically, the center-of-the-center arc has emerged as the figure of Sara. Because Sara is the mother of the Jewish community and the guardian of the light.
Menorah was described as a tree of life other than these. He was credited with an almond tree identity, symbolizing immortality. As it is known, the first blooming tree in the spring is the almond tree. When the tree is decorated with flowers, the leaves have not even bloomed yet. It is purity and sanctity in symbols.
According to Jewish mysticism, the tree of life symbolizes 7 divine virtues. Menora is the symbol of the creation of human beings under God. In another expression Menora expresses that Godly power finds human form. Broadly Menora, moral power, symbols of superiority over physical darkness. As a result Menora is the symbol of the salvation of souls that God promised to the Children of Israel.
Menora's History
The first original Menora, Betsalel Ben Uri Ben-Hur, was placed in the sacred inner section "Kadosh aKodashim" of the Holy Tent "Mikan", which was drawn, made according to divine guidelines, and was found in the garbage. The menora is located opposite Parohet (the curtain covering the mausoleums of today's synagogues), while it was in the south while the shadow appeared in the north. The lights light up from the night to the sabah, burned and extinguished by Kohen Gadol.
Later, when he set foot in the Holy Land, he was brought to Shilo by Yeosu Bennun.
Shlomo Ameleh When he built "Bet-Amikdash" in Jerusalem, all the sacred objects were moved to "Bet-Amikdash".
Shlomo has placed five more menas on both sides of Menora. The aim is to protect Menora and equip the temple with silver and gold.
In the year BC586, all of these sacred objects were moved to Babylon after the fall of the First Amateur. But after the Persians' conquest of Babylon, Cirus brought back a great portion of these treasures to the holy land for the purpose of rebuilding Jerusalem and the Temple. The menora was probably replaced in that order, or replaced by a new one.
II. When Bet-Amikdah was being built, an angel showed the shape of Menora to the prophet Zehariya, who returned to the Holy Land from the quagmire in Babylon.
"I saw a gold candlestick, there was an oily vessel on top of it, there were 7 lamps with 7 tubes on it, two olive groins, one on the right side of the oil box and the other on the left." (Isa. 4: 2-3).
These trees symbolized Zerubavel of David Ameleh's descendant and Joshua of Kohen Gadol. These two people ruled. Seven lamps symbolized God's seven eyes on the earth, and the young prince gave the following message: "The Lord of the Orders says, not with might, but with my soul."
In the Hellenistic Age, Antiochus Epifanes abolished Menora and other objects, and built the image of the Olympian god Zeus upon the platform.
When the masters won the battle and entered the mansion, they cleared it and made an iron Menora with tin cups. They later made a silver menorah and eventually found the necessary facilities and a solid gold Menora was put back into place.
We also see the menorah on a coin minted by Matthau Hassmonay, head of the Hassmonk dynasty. Matatiau Hassmonj was a monarch and religious leader for three years between 40 and 37 BC, Antioch was arrested and executed by Mark Antonius.
Great Herod BC During the reign of 37-4 years II.Bet-Amikdaş'ın worked for the development of the new Menorlar have done. These were discovered during the old city excavations.
When the Holy Land was dominated by the Romans, the Romans, who seized the remaining Menorah after the fall of the second god, made it the symbol of the Victory Jewelry of the Emperor Titus. One of the questions still unanswered today is why the Romans want to make Menorr one of their symbols. The Romans manipulate the mythological gods on the manor and the griffons, lions, eagles and various sea creatures taken from the Greco-Roman Mythology. According to one idea, the shape of the Menorque is very convenient to bring all these divine figures together in the best possible way.
All the treasures of the temple were preserved by the emperor Vespasian at the peace temple on the forum in Rome. Later, when the Vandals invaded Rome in MS455, Menora moved to Carthage, the empire's capital.
The 6th-century historian Procopius of Kesar writes that Menora was sent to Constantinople, the Byzantine capital, with many treasures in honor of the Byzantine Emperor Belisarius. Further on, the Emperor Justinian kept the Menorr for a suitable time, then sent it back to Jerusalem and hid it under strict protection in one of the churches.
Since the conquest of Jerusalem by the Arabs in AD 638, Menora has never appeared. Maybe when the Persians had to leave Jerusalem in AD 614 they took it away.
According to the legend, Menora is buried either in Jerusalem, or in Shiloh. It awaits the coming of Mashiach and the rebuilding of the temple.
