What Does 2 Chronicles 4:7 Mean?
Solomon made ten golden lampstands, fashioned according to the pattern given for them, and arranged them in two rows of five within the holy place. Their light filled a room that had no window to the outside.
In God's house the light came not from the sun but from a flame he appointed, tended by his servants. The lamps testify that those who dwell near God walk by a light he supplies. Their steady gold glow looked ahead to the One who would call himself the light of the world.
