SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:3
Y Aarón lo hizo así; que encendió contra la faz del candelero sus lámparas, como el SEÑOR lo mandó a Moisés.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And Aaron did so, he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick , etc.] As God had taken up his residence in the most holy place, as appears by the voice speaking from off the mercy seat, ( Numbers 7:89); and sacrifices were begun to be offered in the outward court on the altar of burnt offering, it was proper that the service of God in the holy place should also be set on foot; as placing of the shewbread on the shewbread table, and burning incense on the golden altar of incense; which could not well be done until the lamps were lighted, and therefore orders were given for the lighting them, which was accordingly done by Aaron: as the Lord commanded Moses ; ( Exodus 25:37).
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.
