Often placed on a wooden or metal stand, a lamp would ‘ shine upon all those in a house. ’ People would not light a lamp and put it under a “measuring basket ” ​ — a large container having a capacity of about eight dry quarts.
Aizdedzinātu lampu nelika zem ” pūra ” (liela mērāmā trauka), bet gan novietoja tur, kur tā varētu ” spīdēt visiem, kas ir namā ”, piemēram, uz koka vai metāla paliktņa.
