And set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. The setting up of the lamps — lighting them for the first time — completes the lampstand's installation. The lamps that will burn from evening to morning are lit. The Holy Place that was dark is now filled with the light of seven gold lamps. The first light in the sanctuary is the first fulfillment of what the lampstand was built for: to give light to the space in front of it, before the Lord.
