4. Mosebok 8,2

1 Så talte Herren til Moses med disse ordene,

"Tal til Aron og gi ham beskjed: 'Når du setter lampene i stand, sørg for at alle de syv lyser opp området foran lysestaken.'"

3 Aron gjorde som han ble bedt om; han satte lampene slik at de lyste fremover på lysestaken, akkurat som Herren hadde instruert Moses.

4 Dette er håndverket til lysestaken: den var laget av hamret gull, fra sokkelen til de dekorative blomstene. Den ble laget etter mønsteret Herren hadde vist Moses.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
