- Genesis 15:17
When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.
Commentary on Genesis 15:171 voice
“Smoking furnace and a burning lamp - Probably the smoking furnace might be designed as an emblem of the sore afflictions of the Israelites in Egypt; but the burning lamp was certainly the symbol of the Divine presence, which, passing between the pieces, ratified the covenant with Abram, as the following verse immediately states.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Exodus 25:1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Commentary on Exodus 25:11 voice
“Yahweh had redeemed the Israelites from bondage. He had made a covenant with them and had given them laws. He had promised, on condition of their obedience, to accept them as His own ‘peculiar treasure,’ as ‘a kingdom of priests and an holy nation’ Exo 19:5-6. And now He was ready visibly to testify that He made his abode with them.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Exodus 27:20
And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
Commentary on Exodus 27:201 voice
“Pure oil olive beaten - That is, such oil as could easily be expressed from the olives after they had been bruised in a mortar; the mother drop, as it is called, which drops out of itself as soon as the olives are a little broken, and which is much purer than that which is obtained after the olives are put under the press.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Exodus 27:21
In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.
Commentary on Exodus 27:211 voice
“The tabernacle of the congregation - More literally, the tent of meeting. This is the first occurrence of this designation of the tabernacle, and the idea connected with it is that of Yahweh meeting with either Moses, or the priests, or (in a few cases) with the people gathered into a congregation at the entrance of the tent. Without the rail, which is before the testimony - i. e. the holy place (see Exo 25:16).”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Leviticus 24:2–4
“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
- Job 18:6
The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
Commentary on Job 18:61 voice
“The light shall the dark in his tabernacle,.... Not the light of the eye, in the tabernacle of his body, rather the light of nature and reason in him; and when that ‘light that is in a man becomes darkness’, as our Lord says, ‘how great is that darkness!’”
John Gill · Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Commentary on Psalms 119:1051 voice
“ן, NUN.--The Fourteenth Part. NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,.... The same Solomon says of the law and commandment, the preceptive part of the word, Pro 6:23; and the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it ‘law’ here.”
John Gill · Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Proverbs 13:9
The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
- Proverbs 20:20
Whoever curses his father or mother, his lamp will be extinguished in deepest darkness.
Commentary on Proverbs 20:201 voice
“Whoso curseth his father - Such persons were put to death under the law; see Exo 21:17; Lev 20:9, and here it is said, Their lamp shall be put out - they shall have no posterity; God shall cut them off both root and branch.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Isaiah 62:1
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
- Jeremiah 25:10
Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
- Zephaniah 1:12
And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
Commentary on Zephaniah 1:121 voice
“I will search Jerusalem with candles - I will make a universal and thorough search. That are settled on their lees - Those who are careless, satisfied with the goods of this life; who trust in their riches, and are completely irreligious; who, while they acknowledge that there is a God, think, like the Aristotelians, that he is so supremely happy in the contemplation of his own excellences, that he feels it beneath his dignity to concern himself with the affairs of mortals.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Matthew 6:22
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
Commentary on Matthew 6:221 voice
“This is an illustration drawn from the senses. As the whole body is in darkness, where the eye is not single, so if the soul has lost her original brightness, every sense, or that whole part of the soul to which sensation belongs, will abide in darkness. Wherefore He says, If then the light which is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! that is, if the senses which are the soul's light be darkened by vice, in how great darkness do you suppose the darkness itself will be wrapped?”
Jerome · Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- 2 Peter 1:19
We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Commentary on 2 Peter 1:191 voice
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy - That is, a prophecy pertaining to the coming of the Lord Jesus; for that is the point under discussion. There has been considerable diversity of opinion in regard to the meaning of this passage. Some have supposed that the apostle, when he says, ‘a more sure word,’ did not intend to make any comparison between the miracle of the transfiguration and prophecy, but that he meant to say merely that the word of prophecy was very sure, and could certainly be relied on.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Revelation 4:5
From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
Commentary on Revelation 4:52 voices
“Behold the seven horns of the Lamb, the seven eyes of God -the seven eyes are the seven spirits of the Lamb; seven torches burning before the throne of God seven golden candlesticks, seven young sheep, the seven women in Isaiah, the seven churches in Paul, seven deacons, seven angels, seven trumpets, seven seals to the book, seven periods of seven days with which Pentecost is completed, the seven weeks in Daniel, also the forty-three weeks in Daniel; with Noah, seven of all clean things in the ark; seven revenges of Cain, seven years for a debt to be acquitted, the lamp with seven orifices, seven pillars of wisdom in the house of Solomon...”
Victorinus of Pettau · Victorinus On the Creation of the WorldPatristic
“[Daniel 7:9] ‘I beheld until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of days took His seat. His garment was as white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was composed of fiery flames and its wheels were set on fire. From before His presence there issued forth a rushing, fiery stream.’”
Jerome · St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER SEVENPatristic
- Revelation 8:10
Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
Commentary on Revelation 8:101 voice
“And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, etc. Heretics, whom Jude the apostle calls stars of seduction, falling from the height of the Church, try to infect the springs of divine Scriptures with the flame of their wickedness. They are not …”
