Leviticus 24:1-9 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 Command the Israelites to bring to you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.

3 Outside the veil-canopy of the congregation in the Meeting Tent Aaron must arrange it from evening until morning before the LORD continually. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

4 On the ceremonially pure lampstand he must arrange the lamps before the LORD continually.

5 You must take choice wheat flour and bake twelve loaves; there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in each loaf,

6 and you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the ceremonially pure table before the LORD.

7 You must put pure frankincense on each row, and it will become a memorial portion for the bread, a gift to the LORD.

8 Each Sabbath day Aaron must arrange it before the LORD continually; this portion is from the Israelites as a perpetual covenant.

9 It will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy to him, a perpetual allotted portion from the gifts of the LORD.|
