Lev 24:2-4 | MHM | STEP | vv. 2–4 : The people were to bring pure olive oil for the lamps. The oil had to be the best quality. The priests were responsible for keeping the lamps burning all the time, both morning and evening. The seven lamps were like one lamp, pointing to the unity of God’s Spirit, who is described as seven lamps in heaven (Leviticus 24:2–4; Exodus 27:20,21 ; Revelation 4:5; 1 Corinthians 12:4 ). The people provided the oil, and the priests kept the lights burning, just as today God’s people support those who serve in ministry.
