The seven lamps . The lamps are not described. They appear by the representation on the Arch of Titus to have been hemispherical bowls on a stand, which fitted into the lily-blossom wherewith each of the seven branches terminated. They shall light the lamps . The lamps were lighted every evening at sunset ( Exodus 27:21 ; Exodus 30:8 ; Le Exodus 24:3 , etc.), and burnt till morning, when the High Priest extinguished them and "dressed" them ( Exodus 30:7 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 25:38

The tongs thereof . Tongs or pincers were required for trimming the wicks of the lamps. Compare 1 Kings 7:49 ; 2 Chronicles 4:21 . Snuff-dishes were also needed for the reception of the fragments removed from the wicks by the tongs. "Snuffers," though the word is used in Exodus 27:1-21 :23, in the place of tongs, had not been indented, and were indeed unknown to the ancients. read more
