Exegesis
The clause begins with al {עַל | ʿal} ‘upon’ marking location, followed by the construct phrase hammenorah hatehorah {הַמְּנֹרָה הַטְּהֹרָה | hammə-nō-rāh hattə-hō-rāh} ‘the pure lampstand’ combining a noun and adjective with the definite article to specify ritual purity.
In context — Leviticus 24:4
Upon the pure lampstand he shall arrange the lamps before the LORD continually.
