Números 8:1-4

A Preparação das Lâmpadas do Candelabro

1 Disse também o SENHOR a Moisés:

2 “Diga o seguinte a Arão: Quando você preparar as sete lâmpadas, estas deverão iluminar a área da frente do candelabro”.

3 Arão assim fez; dispôs as lâmpadas de modo que estivessem voltadas para a frente do candelabro, como o SENHOR tinha ordenado a Moisés.

4 O candelabro foi feito de ouro batido, do pedestal às flores, conforme o modelo que o SENHOR tinha mostrado a Moisés.

Números 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.
