Candle: Heb. ner,
(Job 18:6; 29:3; Psalms 18:28; Proverbs 24:20) in all which places the
Revised Version and margin of Authorized Version have "lamp," by
which the word is elsewhere frequently rendered. The Hebrew word
denotes properly any kind of candle or lamp or torch. It is used as a
figure of conscience
(Proverbs 20:27) of a Christian example
(Matthew 5:14,15) and
of prosperity
(Job 21:17; Proverbs 13:9)
