The "Menorah" is the 7-branched olive-oil lamp that stood in the Tabernacle. Its construction
is described late in the book of Exodus, and its design was never modified.
The lamp of eight branches (plus one for a lighter) used during Chanukah is often erroneously
also called a menorah, which is a source of much confusion. It's preferable to refer to that one
as a "Chanukiah" (kha-NOO-kee-ah).
