So that's what Aaron did. He placed the lamps facing towards the front of the lampstand, as the Lord had ordered Moses.
the pure gold lampstand with its lamps placed in a row, and all its equipment, as well as the olive oil for the lamps;
and put up the lamps in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
“Tell Aaron, ‘When you place the seven lamps on the lampstand, make sure they shine towards the front.’”
The lampstand was made of hammered gold from its base to the flower decorations on the top, in accordance with the design that the Lord had shown Moses.
No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a bucket. No, it's placed on a lamp-stand and it provides light to everyone in the house.
