Outside the curtain that separates the Most Holy Place, in the tent of meeting, Aaron must keep the lamps burning before the LORD from evening until morning continually. This is a permanent law for all your generations.

📚 Historical Context
In the time of Moses, after the Israelites escaped from Egypt, God provided specific instructions for the tabernacle, a portable sanctuary where His presence dwelt among the people. Aaron, as the high priest, was responsible for maintaining the lamps in the Holy Place, ensuring they burned continually as a symbol of God's eternal light and presence. This commandment was part of the covenant laws that guided the daily worship and rituals of the Israelite community.
