Summary

In Exodus 40:24, we see the instructions given by God to set up the golden lampstand in the tabernacle. This lampstand, made of pure gold, symbolized the light of God's presence among His people. The seven lamps on the lampstand were to be kept burning continually, representing the eternal nature of God's guidance and illumination. This verse highlights the importance of God's light in guiding and sustaining His people, both physically and spiritually, as they journeyed through the wilderness.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And he put the golden altar,.... The altar of incense; so called because it was overlaid with gold, and to distinguish it from the altar of burnt offering, which was covered with brass: to this altar there is an allusion in Rev 8:3. in the tent of the congregation, before the vail; in the same place, the holy place, where the shewbread table and candlestick were, and these were all the furniture of it; and this was put, not within the vail, but before it, over against the ark, as that stood within it, Exo 40:5.
