A small introduction to the seven-branch candle holder

The emblem of Judaism and the central pattern of the national emblem of Israel. It was originally a Jewish ritual product. According to Chapter 37 of the "Bible Exodus", the first candle holder was made of gold by the famous Israeli craftsman and artist Bezalel. The middle one of the seven lamps is slightly higher than the six on both sides. It represents the Sabbath, and the remaining six represent the 6 days of God’s creation. The candle holder became a sacred object in the Jerusalem Temple. In 64 BC, the Roman commander-in-chief Tit occupied Jerusalem and looted the sacred objects of the temple. The whereabouts of the golden candle holder is unknown. But on the Triumphal Arch in the Roman Forum, on ancient coins, on Jewish tombstones, and on the mosaic floor of the Jewish synagogue, there are patterns of 7 candle holders. It actually became the emblem of Judaism.
