This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Neither do men light a candle - or, lamp.

and put it under a bushel - a dry measure.

but on a candlestick - rather, “under the bushel, but on the lampstand.” The article is inserted in both cases to express the familiarity of everyone with those household utensils.

and it giveth light - shineth “unto all that are in the house.”
