Why is the Menorah described only after we are told that Aharon lit it?
This is like a builder who builds before being handed the blueprint. The
explanation is that Aharon sacrificed himself on the altar of Hashem’s
command, by preceding na’aseh to nishma. He demonstrated that he was
prepared to do all he was commanded, before even knowing what that
was.

We should take a lesson from this narrative and be prepared to obey
Hashem’s word, no questions asked. This willingness will most likely
preempt all previous questions one had.

The first drop of olive oil denotes alacrity and self-sacrifice in Avodat
Hashem. A person is enjoined to be diligent in all mitzvot, prepared to
sacrifice himself for them.
