THE GOLDEN CANDLESTICK"And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it: and there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof: three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six... read more

Exodus 25:40. And look that thou make, &c.— Moses was now in the mount with God: this verse therefore should be rendered, in conformity with the 9th, look that thou make them after the pattern which is shewed thee, or, which thou art caused to see, in the mount; which is a literal translation of the Hebrew, and agreeable to all the versions. REFLECTIONS.—1. The tabernacle being without a window, light was necessary; and a most noble candlestick of gold of seven branches, highly ornamented,... read more

40. look that thou make them after their pattern—This caution, which is repeated with no small frequency in other parts of the narrative, is an evidence of the deep interest taken by the Divine King in the erection of His palace or sanctuary; and it is impossible to account for the circumstance of God's condescending to such minute details, except on the assumption that this tabernacle was to be of a typical character, and eminently subservient to the religious instruction and benefit of... read more

[Note: Davis, pp. 246-51.] 1. What was the length of the cubit, the standard measure of length? This is a problem because various nations had different lengths for their cubits. A cubit was usually the distance between the elbow and the middle fingertip. The length ranged from about 17 inches to 21 inches, but there... read more

The lampstand 25:31-40This piece of furniture was probably similar in size to the table of showbread (Exodus 25:39). It stood opposite that table in the holy place against the south (left) wall. It weighed about 75 pounds. The tabernacle craftsmen fashioned it in the form of a stylized plant or tree. It connoted life and fertility."The signification of the seven-armed candlestick is apparent from its purpose, viz. to carry seven lamps, which were trimmed and filled with oil every morning, and... read more

The Vessels of the SanctuaryChapters 25-31 are taken up with prescriptions regarding the Construction of a Tabernacle, i.e. a tent, to form the visible dwelling-place of Jehovah in the midst of His people, the place where He would meet them and receive their worship. The entire structure consisted of three parts. There was an outer Court, 100 cubits by 50, open to the sky, the sides of which were composed of curtains supported on pillars.

CHAPTER XXV.THE SHRINE AND ITS FURNITURE.Exodus 25:1-40The first direction given to Moses on the mountain is to prepare for the making of a tabernacle wherein God may dwell with man. For this he must invite offerings of various kinds, metals and gems, skins and fabrics, oil and spices; and the humblest man whose heart is willing may contribute toward an abode for Him Whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain.Strange indeed is the contrast between the mountain burning up to heaven, and the lowly... read more
