Leviticus 24:1-9 ▼

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.

3 Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

4 He shall keep the lamps in order on the pure gold lampstand before Yahweh continually.

5 “Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

6 And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.

7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each row that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, even an offering by fire to Yahweh.

8 Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel.

9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings to Yahweh by fire, his portion forever.”
