The Book of Exodus was written by Moses around 1446-1406 BC. It describes the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings, including the candlestick, which was a significant part of the worship rituals for the Israelites in the wilderness.
Living It Out Today
Just as the pure candlestick required oil to give light, our lives also need to be fueled by the Holy Spirit to shine brightly for God. For example, a person might join a community service group not just to help others but also to reflect God's light in their actions.
