What seest thou? what dost thou discern, of that thou didst before, half asleep half awake, see, but didst not observe? I have looked; since awakened and roused, I have very diligently viewed and observed, and I see. A candlestick: by God's appointment there was a candlestick to be made, as an utensil and ornament of the temple, Exodus 25:31. All of gold; so was the candlestick to be for the temple, all of pure gold, Exodus 37:17. A bowl, or basin, or round and large oil cruet, capable of so much oil as would suffice to feed all the lamps in the candlestick. Upon the top of it; on the highest part of the candlestick, on the top of the candlestick on the top of the shaft, or on the head of the candlestick. Seven lamps; either so many, because the temple candlestick had just so many, or because of some perfection supposed to be in this septenary number. Seven pipes; one pipe to each lamp, the mouth of which pipe joined to the bowl or basin, and received oil from it; the other end of the pipe fastened to the lamp conveyed oil into the lamp. To the seven lamps; so each of the seven lamps had a pipe reaching from it to the bowl or basin. On the top thereof: these lamps were so set as to stand somewhat higher than the body of the candlestick.
