The Seven Lamps

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Speak to Aaron and say to him, 'When you mount the lamps, the seven lamps will 1give light in the front of the lampstand.' "
3 Aaron therefore did so; he mounted its lamps at the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
4 2Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold; from its base to its flowers it was hammered work; 3according to the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the lampstand.

Numbers 8:1-4 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS 8

In this chapter orders are given for the lighting the seven lamps of the candlestick, Nu 8:1-4; and for the consecration of the Levites to their office, by a purification of them, Nu 8:5-8; by a separation of them from the children of Israel, and the imposition of their hands on them, and of the hands of the Levites on the offerings offered for them, Nu 8:9-15; and being thus given to the Lord, and claimed as his, instead of the firstborn of Israel, they are given to Aaron and his sons to do service in the tabernacle, Nu 8:16-22; and their age at which they were to enter into service and cease from it is fixed, Nu 8:23-26.
