This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They shall light the lamps, whom I shall appoint for that work. Over against it, i.e. either,
1. The table of shewbread. Or rather,
2. The candlestick, as it is expressed, Num_8:2, where by the candlestick you are to understand, as here, Exo_25:33,34, the stem or main body of it; and the sense is, that the lamps shall be so placed, that they and their light may look towards that stem; unless you will suppose that the seven lamps were distinct and separated from the candlestick, and fastened to the sides of the tabernacle in several places, and all giving light to or over against the great candlestick, which was in the midst, as the candlestick did over-against them, which is also, now usual among us.
