"the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; with the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, all of gold;" — The *ten golden lampstands* (*menorah*, though here in plural *menot zahav*) illuminate the *inner chamber*. The *number ten* suggests *completeness* and the *bilateral arrangement* (five each side) creates *symmetry*. The *flowers*, *lamps*, and *tongs* are all *pure gold*, emphasizing *sacred material* for *inner service*.
