The Oil for the Lamp
20 “And you are to command the Israelis to bring you pure olive oil, extracted by hand,[a] for the light in order to keep the lamp burning[b] continuously. 21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that is before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to maintain[c] the lamp stand[d] from evening until morning in the Lord’s presence. It is to be a perpetual ordinance from generation to generation among the Israelis.”
