EXODUS 37:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.”
He made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. The seven lamps and their maintenance tools — all pure gold, exactly as Exodus 25:37–38 specified. The lampstand without its lamps is a beautiful object; the lampstand with its lamps burning is a light-producing presence. The beauty and the light together are what the lampstand is designed to be. The maintenance tools made of the same pure gold as the lampstand communicate that the service of holy things is itself holy.
