And he made its seven lamps, its wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.

And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there [is] a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the [stand] seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.

John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

"The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

"To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ' These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire [were] burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

"In the tabernacle of meeting, outside the veil which [is] before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening until morning before the LORD. [It shall be] a statute forever to their generations on behalf of the children of Israel.

"And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.

"Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.

"He shall be in charge of the lamps on the pure [gold] lampstand before the LORD continually.

"And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; [they] also [set] the showbread [in order on] the pure [gold] table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps to burn every evening; for we keep the command of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him.

He put the lampstand in the tabernacle of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle;

"Speak to Aaron, and say to him, 'When you arrange the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.' "

Your word [is] a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

For the commandment [is] a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life,

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace."

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

"Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

'to open their eyes, [in order] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'

The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb [is] its light.

Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).

There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

"Speak to Aaron, and say to him, 'When you arrange the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.' "
