This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

Wesley: Lev 24:2 - To cause the lamps to burn

Heb. the lamp: yet Lev 24:4, it is the lamps: The seven lamps made all one lamp. In allusion to which, the Blessed Spirit is represented, Rev 4:5, by seven lamps of fire before the throne. For there are diversities of gifts, but one spirit.

Either by himself, or by his sons, Exo 25:37.

Poole: Lev 24:2 - That they bring

That they bring at their common charge, because it was for their common good and service. This command was given before, Exo 27:20 .

Poole: Lev 24:3 - The veil of the testimony // Shall Aaron order it

The veil of the testimony i.e. which was before the ark of the testimony.

Shall Aaron order it either by himself, or by his sons, Exo 25:37 .

Haydock: Lev 24:2 - Command // Oil

Command. It is probable that this order was given while Beseleel was working at the tabernacle. (Calmet) ---

The people were to furnish the necessary sacrifices, &c., by the half sicle, Exodus xxx. 3, and by voluntary contributions on the three great festivals, on which no one was to appear empty-handed, Exodus xxiii. 15. Some chose to put their contributions towards the temple in the treasury, Luke xxi. 1. ---

Oil: Hebrew, "pure oil of the olive beaten, for light to," &c.

Gill: Lev 24:1 - And the Lord spake unto Moses // saying

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... After he had delivered to him the laws concerning the purity of the priests, and the perfection of the sacrifices they were to offer, and concerning the feasts the people were to keep, he spoke to Moses of some other things which concerned both people and priests:

saying; as follows.

Gill: Lev 24:2 - Command the children of Israel // that they bring unto thee pure oil olive, beaten, for the light // to cause the lamps to burn continually

Command the children of Israel,.... Moses was the chief magistrate under God, and being clothed with authority from him, had power to command the children of Israel to do what the Lord required of them:

that they bring unto thee pure oil olive, beaten, for the light; this was to be at the public expense, and it belonged to the community to supply the priests with oil for the light of the candlestick in the temple, Exo 25:6; and this oil was not to be any sort of oil, as train oil, or oil of nuts, almonds, &c. but oil of olives, and not any sort of that, but the purest, which was the first that was taken from them; it seems there were three sorts, the first of which was pure, and this beaten in a mortar, and not ground in a mill; See Gill on Exo 27:20,

to cause the lamps to burn continually; the lamps in the golden candlestick, which were seven, Exo 25:37; or "the lamp", in the singular number, as it is in the original text; the western lamp, which is said to be always kept lighted, from which the rest were lighted when out; though the oil was undoubtedly for the supply of the lamps, that they might burn always, night and day; or from night tonight, as Jarchi; and both on sabbath days and working days, as the Targum of Jonathan.

Gill: Lev 24:3 - Without the vail of the testimony // in the tabernacle of the congregation // shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning, before the Lord continually // it shall be a statute for ever in your generations

Without the vail of the testimony,.... That is, on the outside of the vail which divided between the holy and holy of holies, and which was before the ark in which the testimony or law was:

in the tabernacle of the congregation; which the apostle calls the first, namely, the holy place in which the candlestick, with its lamps, stood, Heb 9:2,

shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning, before the Lord continually, that is, the lamp or lamps, or candlestick, in which they were, or the light of them; his business was, and so every priest's that succeeded him, to supply the lamps with oil, to dress, him, and snuff them, that they might burn clear, and burn always, and that before the Lord, in the presence of the Lord:

it shall be a statute for ever in your generations; until the Messiah should come, the true light, which would put out all such typical ones, and by his Gospel spread light in all his churches throughout the world; See Gill on Exo 27:20 and See Gill on Exo 27:21.
