This site's exposition

he made his seven lamps

on Exodus 37:23-24

The tabernacle description gives no window anywhere, so these seven lamps are the only light by which anything in the holy place is seen. The snuffers and snuffdishes belong with them, since a lamp that burns continually has to be tended continually. Zechariah 4:2 sees a candlestick all of gold with seven lamps upon it, and Revelation 1:20 says the seven golden candlesticks John saw are seven churches.
