The Baal Akedah says in Parshes Teumah based on the Midrash pelia in פתח דבריך יאיר ואתיא כמ”ד י”ז טפחים גובהו של מנורה start your words in light will be interpreted according to the view that 17 tefochim is the height of the Menorah. The number of words in the beginning of a sefer in chumash implies the Menorah. Bereishis has 7 words indicating 7 lamps, shmos has 11 words indicating 11 buttons, vayikro has 9 words for 9 flowers and devorim has 22 terms against 22 cups. There are 17 words in bamidbar for 17 tefochim height of the Menorah.
