He must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually. The pure gold lampstand and the continual tending communicate the most fundamental requirement of the priestly ministry: the light before the Lord must never go out. The priest who lets the lampstand burn out has failed the most basic obligation of the daily sanctuary service. The perpetual light is the perpetual witness to the presence of the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps.
