Placing the Lamps

8^*The Lord said to Moses, ^2*“Tell Aaron that when he puts the seven lamps on the lamp-stand, he should place them so that the light shines towards the front.” ^3*Aaron obeyed and placed the lamps facing the front of the lamp-stand. ^4*From top to bottom the lamp-stand was made of hammered gold, according to the pattern that the Lord had shown Moses.
