The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-9

The lamps of the seven-branched candlestick burnt throughout the whole night in the tabernacle; and the shewbread was constantly set forth upon the golden table. They may be taken to symbolize: 1 . The constant illumination vouchsafed by God to his Church through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 2 . The spiritual food constantly supplied by him in his Church to those who come in faith to have their wants supplied. 1 . I. ILLUMINATION BY THE SPIRIT WAS PROMISED BY ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:2-4

The candlestick. To many the regulations of Leviticus seem a cryptograph to which they have no key. To others, an inscription of old date with no reference to present concerns.

It appears that the responsibility of keeping up the lights rested on the high priest, but the actual service might be performed, on ordinary occasions, by the common priests.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-23

Reverence for God (24:1-23)Further instructions are given to remind the Israelites of their daily and weekly responsibilities in relation to the Holy Place. To begin with the people had to supply the oil so that the priests could keep the lamp burning continually (24:1-4). The priests also had to make sure that twelve cakes of ‘presence bread’, renewed weekly, were on the table before the Lord continually. This was possibly to symbolize that the nation Israel, which consisted of twelve tribes,... read more
