What was the meaning of lighting the menorah during the time when God’s temple was still standing?

Answer;


During the time when the temple of God was still standing, the priest of God who served in the temple used to take the olive oil pressed out of the olives, and used it to light the menorah light which gave light in the temple.

Lev 24:1-2 says; Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.

In Hebrew; the word oil is also equivalent to the 10 attributes (tithe) of a human soul. This word ‘oil’ in Hebrew also means “soul”.

The olive oil represented the holy act (tithes, offering and good deeds) of God’s people which were used to light the menorah, so that the practical service (prayers, teachings, commitments, intercessions and services) of the priest may be bestowed upon the people in a form of a blessing.
