Numbers 8 — Context

And the Lord said to Moses,

Say to Aaron, When you put the lights in their places, the seven lights will give light in front of the support.

And Aaron did so; he put the lights in their places so that they gave light in front of the support, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.
