From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Lamb
      (1.) Heb. kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year.
      Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Ex.
      29:38-42), on the Sabbath day (Num. 28:9), at the feast of the
      New Moon (28:11), of Trumpets (29:2), of Tabernacles (13-40), of
      Pentecost (Lev. 23:18-20), and of the Passover (Ex. 12:5), and
      on many other occasions (1 Chr. 29:21; 2 Chr. 29:21; Lev. 9:3;
      14:10-25).
     
         (2.) Heb. taleh, a young sucking lamb (1 Sam. 7:9; Isa.
      65:25). In the symbolical language of Scripture the lamb is the
      type of meekness and innocence (Isa. 11:6; 65:25; Luke 10:3;
      John 21:15).
     
         The lamb was a symbol of Christ (Gen. 4:4; Ex. 12:3; 29:38;
      Isa. 16:1; 53:7; John 1:36; Rev. 13:8).
     
         Christ is called the Lamb of God (John 1:29, 36), as the great
      sacrifice of which the former sacrifices were only types (Num.
      6:12; Lev. 14:12-17; Isa. 53:7; 1 Cor. 5:7).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Lamp

      temple which bore the light (Ex. 25:37; 1 Kings 7:49; 2 Chr.
      4:20; 13:11; Zech. 4:2). Their form is not described. Olive oil
      was generally burned in them (Ex. 27:20).
     
         (2.) A torch carried by the soliders of Gideon (Judg. 7:16,
      20). (R.V., "torches.")
     
         (3.) Domestic lamps (A.V., "candles") were in common use among
      the Hebrews (Matt. 5:15; Mark 4:21, etc.).
     
         (4.) Lamps or torches were used in connection with marriage
      ceremonies (Matt. 25:1).
     
         This word is also frequently metaphorically used to denote
      life, welfare, guidance, etc. (2 Sam. 21:17; Ps. 119:105; Prov.
      6:23; 13:9).
