The Lamp in Scripture
"A man's soul is the lamp of God, which searches the chambers of one's innards." (Proverbs 20:27) Lamps carry deep spiritual meaning in the Torah and sacred sources. Discover Jordan River holy water and other sacred items at Holy Land Market.
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 the time of the Bible, oil lamps were used for both domestic purposes and for many spiritual rituals in synagogues and prayer gatherings. The oil lamp and its light also became important ritualistic articles with the further development of Jewish culture and its religion.
"There I shall cause pride to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed." (Psalms 132:16)
"When you set the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand (menorah)." (Numbers 8:1–4)
"And you shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive-oil for the light, that a lamp may be set to burn continually." (Exodus 27:20)
"A lamp is called a lamp, and the soul of man is called a lamp." (Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 30B)
"For a commandment is a lamp and the Bible is light; and reproving discipline is the way of life." (Proverbs 6:23)
Bring the Biblical Light and warmth into your home.
Using Your Oil Lamp
Choosing Your Oil
Fill this lamp with virgin olive oil. Galilean Olive Oil gives the most authentic burning experience. Pair your lamp with other pieces from the Judaica collection at Holy Land Market.
Setting the Wicks
Place both wicks in the oil before lighting. Let them soak so they catch evenly. Add an incense burner from Holy Land Market to build out your sacred space.
Lighting the Lamp
Light both wicks for the full two-wick effect. The glazed finish holds the oil in and keeps the outside clean. Discover related Messianic items at Holy Land Market.
