The Lamp in Scripture
Lamps appear in the Torah and other Jewish sources as a symbol of lighting the way for the righteous, the wise, and for love and other positive values with positive spiritual meaning. In biblical times, oil lamps were used for both domestic purposes and for many spiritual rituals in synagogues and prayer gatherings.
Oil lanterns are utilized in temples, churches, mosques, and synagogues throughout the Holy Land and the world. Clay lamps are often used to represent religious beliefs and ideas or as part of religious rituals.
