Friends,
Re Num 8:2 and the menorah design. The H reads _beha(alotka )et hannerot
)el mul Peney hammenorah ya)iyru $ib(at hannerot_ "when you mount(?) the
lamps, it will be to the front face of the menorah that the seven lamps
will shine." Does this suggest moveable and/or adjustable lamps having a
design which is "pointable" or "directable"? I have never seen a menorah
model with such a feature, have you?
