Leviticus 24:1–9

The Sanctuary’s Lamp and Bread

24 Thena Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the ⌊Israelites⌋b thatc they should bring to you pure olive oil from beaten olives for the light to ⌊present⌋d a lamp continually. 3 Aaron shall arrange for it ⌊outside⌋e the curtain of the testimony in the tent of assembly from evening until morning ⌊before⌋f Yahweh continually; it shall be a ⌊lasting statute⌋g throughout your generations. 4 On the pure goldenh lampstand he shall arrange for the lamps ⌊before⌋i Yahweh continually.

5 “And you shall take finely milled flour, and you shall bake with it twelve ring-shaped bread cakes: each one shall be two-tenths of an ephah. 6 And you shall place them in two rows, six to the row, on the pure goldj table ⌊before⌋k Yahweh. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense on eachl row so thatm it shall be for the bread as a memorial offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh. 8 ⌊On every Sabbath⌋n he shall arrange it in rows ⌊before⌋o Yahweh continually; they are from the ⌊Israelites⌋p as an everlastingq covenant. 9 And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because it is ⌊a most holy thing⌋r for him from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire—a ⌊lasting rule⌋.”s
