SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:4

Sobre el candelero limpio pondrá siempre en orden las lámparas delante del SEÑOR.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 4. He shall order the lamps on the pure candlestick , etc.] So called, as Jarchi suggests, for these two reasons, partly because it was made of pure gold, and partly because it was to be kept pure and clean, and free from ashes, by the priest; (see Exodus 25:31); before the Lord continually ; which both respects the situation of the candlestick, and the work about it, which Aaron was to do continually before and in the presence of the Lord. Jarchi thinks this ordering respects the measure of oil for every night, which he says, according to the wise men, was half a log for every lamp, which was about a quarter of a pint of oil.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 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 shoul we abide with God till he dismiss us.
