RBT Translation:

Neither are they kindling a lamp and putting down himself under the Modius but rather upon the Lampstand and he illuminates all of those within the House.

The Modius dry measure. The modius was a standardized measure, typically represented by a cylindrical container with a capacity of one modius. It often had a distinctive shape, with a rounded body and a flat base, resembling a modern bucket or basket.

On the Menorah, seven candles/lamps within the House.

LITV Translation:
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under the grain measure, but on the lampstand; and it shines for all who are in the house.

ESV Translation:
Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
