During this period oil would have been stored in large containers in the household and would have been accessed through the means of a dipper juglet. Once filled with oil said juglet would have been used to fill the lamps around the house, such as the one seen here. “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. (Exodus 27: 20-21) “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105) |
