Levítico 24:4

4 Mantenha sempre em ordem as lâmpadas no candelabro de ouro puro perante o SENHOR.

Levítico 24:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 24:4

He shall order the lamps on the pure candlestick
So called, as Jarchi suggests, for these two reasons, partly because it was made of pure gold, and partly because it was to be kept pure and clean, and free from ashes, by the priest; see ( Exodus 25:31 ) ; before the Lord continually;
which both respects the situation of the candlestick, and the work about it, which Aaron was to do continually before and in the presence of the Lord. Jarchi thinks this ordering respects the measure of oil for every night, which he says, according to the wise men, was half a log for every lamp, which was about a quarter of a pint of oil.

Levítico 24:4 In-Context

2 “Ordene aos israelitas que tragam azeite puro de olivas batidas para as lâmpadas, para que fiquem sempre acesas.
3 Na Tenda do Encontro, do lado de fora do véu que esconde as tábuas da aliança, Arão manterá as lâmpadas continuamente acesas diante do SENHOR, desde o entardecer até a manhã seguinte. Este é um decreto perpétuo para as suas gerações:
4 Mantenha sempre em ordem as lâmpadas no candelabro de ouro puro perante o SENHOR.
5 “Apanhe da melhor farinha e asse doze pães, usando dois jarros para cada pão.
6 Coloque-os em duas fileiras, com seis pães em cada uma, sobre a mesa de ouro puro perante o SENHOR.
