Leviticus 24:1-9 ▼

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,

3 Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.

4 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf :

6 And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:

7 And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.

8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:

9 And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
