Ok. Why does the article cite "seven candles" and the photo reveals nine candles?

He's referring to the Menorah constructed for the Temple, as described in Exodus.

That's not the same as the Menorah used for Hanukah, eight candles for each night and the shamus, helper, for lighting. I'd like to think the author knew that, but I doubt it.
