Observe here who was expressly appointed to the office of lighting the lamps; it was Aaron. Yes! It was JESUS our Almighty Aaron, that sends to us the HOLY SPIRIT, as the FATHER'S gift, to enlighten the souls of his people, and as the fruit and effect of his own ascension-gifts to his church. Hence David saith, Thou LORD wilt light my candle. Psalms 18:28. Dearest JESUS! thou art both the light, and the life of thy people, and in thy light, shall we see light. Psalms 36:9.
