John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses , etc.] Whether immediately after the offerings of the princes, or at another time, is not certain; Aben Ezra thinks it was in the night God spake unto him, because then the lamps were lighted and burning: saying ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - Aaron himself lighted the lamps, thus representing his Divine Master The Scripture is a light shining in a dark place, 2Pe 1:19. A dar place even the church would be without it; as the tabernacle, which ha no window, would have been without the lamps. The work of ministers is to light these lamps, by expounding and applying the word of God. Jesu Christ is the only Light of our dark, sinful world; and by his atonement, by his word and the Holy Spirit, he diffuses light around.
