Leviticus 24:1-9 ▼

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,

3 outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

4 Ye shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.

5 And ye shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.

6 And ye shall put them in two rows, each row containing six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.

7 And ye shall put on each row pure frankincense and salt; and these things shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.

8 On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.

9 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
