The lamps of the Menorah were prepared each morning, with the aid of the kuz, the tongs and the other cleaning utensils This was part of the Tamid service. The cleaning and preparing of the lamps was divided into two stages. At first, only five lamps were prepared. The remaining two lamps were prepared after the blood of the Tamid offering was dashed upon the altar. (Source: Tamid 3,9 and 6,1).
