Exegesis
The adverb tamid {תָּמִיד | tā-mîḏ} ‘continually’ serves as a temporal adjunct, indicating unceasing action. The Hebrew purpose clause is rendered as an English infinitive of result, and the singular lamp is understood collectively as the sanctuary’s lamps, reflected in the plural translation.
