Commentary on Exodus 40:25
'He lighted the lamps before the LORD' (וַיַּעַל הַנֵּרֹת לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, vaya'al haNeirot lifnei YHWH)—the Hebrew עָלָה (alah, caused to ascend/burn) means trimmed wicks and filled with oil so flames ascend properly. The lamps burned continually (Exodus 27:20-21), requiring daily tending—sustained light demands ongoing maintenance. This prefigures believers as lights (Matthew 5:14-16) needing Spirit-oil refilling. The phrase 'before the LORD' teaches that illumination's purpose is God's glory, not merely human benefit. The 5th 'as the LORD commanded Moses' maintains obedience emphasis.
