Theological / Devotional

Candlestick of the light. This full name occurs again in Ex. 35:14. For the candlestick, or lampstand, see on Ex. 25:31.

His tongs. See on Ex. 25:38.

Snuffdishes. The same word is translated “censers” (v. 14 and ch. 16:6), and “firepans” (Ex. 27:3; 2 Kings 25:15; Jer. 52:19). The reference may be to shallow metal pans or saucers.
