[Avodah] Symbolism of the Menora

[Zev Sero]

The expression "Halo besifrasam" seems to derive from Tehilim 56:9, 
"Halo besifrasecha".   Rashi translates that as "in Your count", but 
says Menachem (ibn Saruq) translates it as "in Your book".  Malbim also 
translates it as "count".  Most meforshim seem to agree with Rashi, but 
the Radaq sides with Menachem.
