Here is a short one I came up with - I will try to better next time.

Bowls of almonds and clusters of grapes
Arms of the candlestick before the tall drapes
The righteous shall flourish but no fruit is my own
Purging stops being cutoff, cast off, and burnt all alone.

What am I?

Hope this isn't too easy but I suspect it will be.

Hmmmmm...I'm being to deep, but the bowls of almonds/arms of the candlestick before the tall drapes is the lampstand in the Temple...I'm just not sure if this all refers to that lampstand or the room...

Close?

Nope - part of the menorah, Whitehorse was on a closer track than you are headed.

Think part of a menorah, part of a vine.

Oh. Branches?

At first I thought the purging happened to the object, or throught the object, which is why i chose rod at forst. Almonds grew on the staff, and yet it can be used for purging as in threshing. But now I think purging happens to the person to keep this from happening to the branches. As in, "iam the vine, you are the branches." And there are branches on a Mennorah, and the fruit comes through the branches, but it does not belong to the branches.

But it's still just a guess and I could be wrong! Smiley

You could be wrong but you're not.  Congratulations.

Here is my full study to see what I based it on.

Bowls of almonds and clusters of grapes
Ex 25:33 and Num 13:23
Arms of the candlestick before the tall drapes
Ex 25:33
The righteous shall flourish but no fruit is my own
Prov 11:28 and John 15:4
Purging stops being cutoff, cast off, and burnt all alone.
John 15:2 and John 15:6

How about this one.

Used as a disguise or put on the head
I became a boil, but can be eaten like bread
Replaced by beauty I contain no leaven
I can be covered by purple or shown up to heaven
Dry dust is with me though I can serve as water
Remembrances are like me as I am poured from the altar.

What am I?
