Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 24:1-4

Leviticus 24. Four Additional Ordinances. Leviticus 24:1-Numbers : . The Holy Lamp (P). Leviticus 24:2 f. is partially identical with Exodus 27:20 *— a section which may not be in its right place. The candlestick with seven lights ( cf. “ lamps,” Leviticus 24:4) is represented on the Arch of Titus; 1 Kings 7:49 mentions ten candlesticks; Leviticus 24:2 f. probably represents the earlier custom of one lamp ( cf. 1 Samuel 3:3). read more
