A responsibility of the priests was to provide a sufficient amount of virgin olive oil for the lamps in the tent of meeting to be kept burning through the night (27:20,21). The lamp symbolized the Holy Spirit; the Spirit did not leave when the natural light of day was over. 

Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins emphasizes this very personal responsibility (Matt. 25).  Peter (1 Peter 2:9) reminds us we are a “royal priesthood… so that we may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.” We must not let the light go dim.
