Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Exodus 37:17

And he made the candlestick, &c.— The word of God is the golden candlestick, pure in itself, without alloy, and serving to enlighten us for all the spiritual services whereunto we are consecrated. May we know how to value the inestimable blessing, and never provoke God to remove his blessed and holy word from us by our sins against the light of it.
