Gill's Notes on the Bible
And this work of the candlestick [was] of beaten gold,.... As it is also said to be; :-; and
:-:
unto the shalt thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten work; of which, see Exodus 25:31;
according unto the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses; when on Mount Sinai with him:
so he made the candlestick; that is, ordered it to be made, and took care that it was made exactly to the pattern he had of it; otherwise Bezaleel was the artificer; and so the Targum of Jonathan here expresses him by name.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The actual lighting of the lamps (compare the marginal references) was to be done to set forth symbolically the special presence which God had now Numbers 7:89 actually established among His people.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 8:4. This work of the candlestick, c. — See many curious particulars relative to this candlestick, Numbers 8:4- : and "Exodus 25:39". The candlestick itself was an emblem of the Church of Christ the oil, of the graces and gifts of the Spirit of God; and the light, of those gifts and graces in action among men. See Revelation 1:12-20. God builds his Church and sends forth his Spirit to dwell in it, to sanctify and cleanse it, that it may be shown unto the world as his own workmanship. The seven lights in the candlesticks point out the seven Spirits of God, the Holy Ghost being thus termed, Revelation 3:1, from the variety and abundance of his gifts and influences; seven being used among the Hebrews to denote any thing full, complete, and perfect. A candlestick or lamp without oil is of no use; oil not burning is of no use. So a Church or society of religious people without the influence of the Holy Ghost are dead while they have a name to live; and if they have a measure of this light, and do not let it shine by purity of living and holy zeal before men, their religion is neither useful to themselves nor to others. Reader, it is possible to be in the Church of God and not be of that Church; it is possible to have a measure of the Spirit and neither profit nor be profited. Feel this dreadful possibility, and pray to God that thou be not a proof of it.
