Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-23

THE HOLY LIGHT AND THE SHEW BREAD: THE BLASPHEMER’S ENDLeviticus 24:1-23IT is not easy to determine with confidence the association of thought which occasioned the interposition of this chapter, with its somewhat disconnected contents, between chapter 23, on the set times of holy convocation, and chapter 25, on the sabbatic and jubilee years, which latter would seem most naturally to have followed the former immediately, as relating to the same subject of sacred times. Perhaps the best... read more

2. Priestly Duties: The Light and the Shewbread CHAPTER 24:1-9 1. The light (Leviticus 24:1-4 ) 2. The shewbread (Leviticus 24:5-9 ) This chapter is not disconnected from the preceding one as some claim; nor is it the work of a redactor as the critics teach. It is most beautifully linked with the dispensational foreshadowings we found in the feasts of Jehovah. Between Pentecost and the blowing of the trumpets there is, as stated before, a long period of time. When the church was formed,... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 24:1-23

CONTINUAL LIGHT (vv. 1-4) Here Moses is told to command the children of Israel that they bring pure olive oil for the seven lamps, never allowing the supply of oil to lapse, so that the lamps would burn continually (vv. 1-2). For the light from these was to light up the lampstand itself. In the holy place the light was always to shine upon Him who is the Sustainer of the light, the Lord Jesus. The light speaks of testimony, and Christ is always the Object of all testimony for God. The light... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-2

Reader! do not overlook in those verses the account which is given of the lamps always burning. Doth not this represent to us the unceasing light which is kept up by the HOLY SPIRIT in his churches; by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning. Isaiah 4:4 . The Reader will not forget, what was said on this same subject in Exodus 27:20-21 . And let us further observe, on these verses, that the oil which was ordered for this use was to be pure. Yes! Everything that is typical of the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 24:2

Command. It is probable that this order was given while Beseleel was working at the tabernacle. (Calmet) --- The people were to furnish the necessary sacrifices, &c., by the half sicle, Exodus xxx. 3, and by voluntary contributions on the three great festivals, on which no one was to appear empty-handed, Exodus xxiii. 15. Some chose to put their contributions towards the temple in the treasury, Luke xxi. 1. --- Oil: Hebrew, "pure oil of the olive beaten, for light to," &c. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 24:1-9

1-9 The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world; in and through his word this light shines. By this light we discern the food prepared for our souls; and we should daily, but especially from sabbath to sabbath, feed thereon in our hearts with thanksgiving. And as the loaves were left in the sanctuary, so should we abide with God till he dismiss us. read more

Of the Oil and the Showbread v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 2. Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. Cf Exodus 27:20-Ecclesiastes :. This oil was exceptionally pure, because all leaves, parts of branches and twigs, and all other foreign matter was removed; and the olives from which this oil was gained were not stamped or pressed in presses, but merely cut and beaten, a process... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-23

Light and Bread and the Holy Name Leviticus 24:1-23 The words “Before the Lord” are twice repeated in the opening paragraph. The pure lamplight, emblematic of the influence of a religious life; and the showbread, set on the golden table, emblematic of lives of obedience and devotion, which are well-pleasing to God, are both said to be “before the Lord.” We are reminded of the command to Abram, “Walk before me and be thou perfect;” and of the words of the dying Jacob, “The God before whom... read more
