The Menorah stood in the southern part of the Kodesh next to the curtain. The Menorah was made of one piece of pure gold and forty-two decorations were an intrinsic part of its construction: twenty-two cups with almond shaped embellishments, nine flowers and eleven knobs - all integral parts of the body of the Menorah. The Menorah was eighteen handbreadths high (about 1.80 meters) - the height of an average person - from its base until the top. There is a difference of opinion regarding whether the Menorah stood parallel to the curtain from north to south or perpendicular to it, from east to west.
