Leviticus 24:1-9 ▼

1 Then the LORD 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 the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations.

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

7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the LORD.

8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD 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 LORD’S offerings by fire, his portion forever.”
