See the notes to Exo 25:31-38<\/span>. The bowls of 1Ki 7:50<\/span> were the bowls for the tables Exo 37:16<\/span>, large vases containing oil for the lamps.<\/P> <\/p>\n The candlesticks; <\/B>which were ten, according to the number of the tables; whereas Moses made but one; whereby might be signified the. progress of the light of sacred truth, which was now grown clearer than it was in Mosess time, and should shine brighter and brighter until the perfect day of gospel light. <\/P> Of pure gold; <\/B>of massy and fine gold. <\/P> Before the oracle, <\/B>in the holy place.

See Poole “Exo 25:31<\/span>“. <\/P> <\/p>\n 49. candlesticks of pure gold<\/B>made,probably, according to the model of that in the tabernacle, which,along with the other articles of furniture, were deposited with duehonor, as sacred relics, in the temple. But these seem not to havebeen used in the temple service; for Solomon made new lavers, tables,and candlesticks, ten of each. (See further regarding the dimensionsand furniture of the temple, in 2Ch3:1-5:14<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle<\/strong>,…. These stood in the holy place, where the shewbread tables did, right before the holy of holies; there were ten of these as of them, which were placed, as the same Jewish writers say, not on the right and left of the temple, but on the right and left of Moses’s candlestick, which stood on the south side, Ex 40:24<\/span>, these may denote the greater degree of spiritual light in the church of Christ under the Gospel dispensation than under the law:<\/p>\n with the flowers<\/strong>; the figures of flowers, such as were wrought on the candlestick of Moses:<\/p>\n and the lamps<\/strong>; which were seven to each candlestick, and so must be in all seventy; which may put us in mind of the seventy disciples of Christ, some of the first lights of the Gospel church:<\/p>\n and the tongues of gold<\/strong>; which were used to take the wicks out of the oil, and put into the lamps.<\/p>\n (49) The candlesticks of pure gold.<\/strong>Whether these ten candlesticks were to supersede the one seven- lighted candlestick made for the Tabernacle (Exo. 25:31-40<\/span>; Exo. 37:17-26<\/span>), or were to be used in addition to it, we are not told. The latter supposition is, however, far more probable, both because it seems most unlikely that the old sacred candlestick should have been disused, and because in the second Temple only the one seven-lighted candlestick was provided, and (as the sculpture on the Arch of Titus shows) was carried in the Roman triumph after the destruction of the city. (In 2Ch. 4:8<\/span>; 2Ch. 4:19<\/span>, there is a mention of ten tables for shewbread, similarly ranged on each side of the Holy Place, probably in the same way, additional to the one proper table.) Josephus, in his rhetorical exaggeration, declares that Solomon made ten thousand candlesticks and ten thousand tables; but he distinguishes the one proper candlestick and table from the rest. The candlestick is elaborately described in the history of the construction of the Tabernacle, as of great costliness of material and workmanship. Placed in the Holy Place, opposite to the table of shewbread, and fed carefully with the sacred oil, it appears to have symbolised the gift of light to the world, as the shewbread the gift of life and sustenance, flowing from the presence of God.<\/p>\n The flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs <\/strong>are the parts of the candlestick (mentioned in Exo. 25:31<\/span>; Exo. 25:37-38<\/span>); the flowers being the ornaments of the stem and branches, the lamps being the seven lights, and the tongs being used for trimming.<\/p>\n The various articles here mentioned are also enumerated in the description of the furniture of the Tabernacle, Exo. 25:29-38<\/span>.<\/p>\n The snuffers.<\/strong>The word is derived from a root signifying to prune, and is used for pruning knives in Isa. 2:4<\/span> and Mic. 4:3<\/span>. Some accordingly render it here by knives, but the common rendering snuffers suits the derivation well enough.<\/p>\n The spoons.<\/strong>The name signifies simply something hollow; and in Num. 7:86<\/span> the spoons are said to have been full of incense, and to have weighed ten shekels apiece. The right meaning is probably incense pans.<\/p>\n The censers.<\/strong>This rendering is clearly erroneous. It should be snuff-dishes, or ash-pans, as in Exo. 25:38<\/span>.<\/p>\n 49<\/strong>. <\/strong> Candlesticks <\/strong> These ten golden candlesticks were all doubtless made after the pattern of that which adorned the tabernacle, and whose form is described in Exo 25:31-36<\/span>. <\/p>\n Flowers <\/strong> Which served to ornament the candlesticks. <\/p>\n Lamps <\/strong> What we term candles were not used, but lamps, with oil, were set, one on the central shaft, and one on each of the six branches of the golden candlestick. They were the receptacles for the wick and oil, and might be easily taken down, cleaned, and filled, without disturbing the candlestick itself. See on Exo 25:37<\/span>. <\/p>\n Tongs <\/strong> To handle burning coals, (Isa 6:6<\/span>,) and sometimes to use as snuffers. Exo 37:23<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ki 7:49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right [side], and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs [of] gold,<\/p>\n Ver. 49.
