He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
The lamps upon the pure gold candlestick were to be set in order and maintained in a state of continual burning before the Lord. Their flame was not intermittent but constant, kept alight without ceasing in His presence. That light shone through both apartments of the sanctuary, so that neither room was left without its illumination. It was reflected back from the boards overlaid with gold, from the sacred furniture, and from the colored curtains that adorned the tabernacle.
