{Under the bushel} (hupo ton modion). Not a bushel. "The
figure is taken from lowly cottage life. There was a projecting
stone in the wall on which the lamp was set. The house consisted
of a single room, so that the tiny light sufficed for all"
(Bruce). It was not put under the bushel (the only one in the
room) save to put it out or to hide it. The bushel was an
earthenware grain measure. "{The stand}" (	(886e) luchnian), not
"candlestick." It is "lamp-stand" in each of the twelve examples
in the Bible. There was the one lamp-stand for the single room.
