the lampstands for light
The Hebrew word for "lampstands" is "מְנֹרָה" (menorah), which refers to a stand that holds lamps. In the context of the Tabernacle, the menorah was a vital element, symbolizing the presence of God and His guidance. The light from the lampstands represented divine illumination and wisdom, guiding the Israelites in their spiritual journey. Historically, the menorah is a powerful symbol in Jewish tradition, often associated with the Temple in Jerusalem. It serves as a reminder of God's eternal light and His covenant with His people.

with their accessories
The term "accessories" refers to the various tools and implements used in conjunction with the lampstands. These would include items necessary for maintaining the lamps, such as tongs and snuffers. The Hebrew word "כֵּלִים" (kelim) is used here, which can mean vessels or utensils. This highlights the importance of preparation and care in worship, emphasizing that every detail in the service of God is significant and requires attention and reverence.

and lamps
The "lamps" themselves, "נֵר" (ner) in Hebrew, were the sources of light placed on the lampstands. Each lamp was carefully crafted to hold oil and a wick, providing a steady flame. In a spiritual sense, the lamps symbolize the light of God's truth and the illumination of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. The continual burning of the lamps in the Tabernacle served as a perpetual reminder of God's presence and His desire to dwell among His people.

and oil for the light
The "oil" used for the lamps was pure olive oil, as specified in earlier passages. The Hebrew word "שֶׁמֶן" (shemen) signifies richness and abundance. Olive oil was a precious commodity in ancient times, often used for anointing and as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The oil's role in providing light underscores the necessity of the Holy Spirit in sustaining the spiritual life of believers. Just as the oil kept the lamps burning, the Holy Spirit empowers and enlightens the faithful, enabling them to shine forth God's light in a dark world.

Verse 14. - For the candlestick, its furniture, and its lamps, compare Exodus 25:31-39.
