EXPOSITION

THE GOLDEN CANDLESTICK (). Though the holy of holies was always dark, unless when lighted by. the glory of God (, ), the holy place, in which many of the priests' functions were to be performed, was to be always kept light. In the day-time sufficient light entered from the porch in front; but, as evening drew on, some artificial illumination was required. In connection with this object, the golden candlestick, or rather lamp-stand, was designed, which, together with its appurtenances, is described in the remainder of the chapter.
