Leviticus 24:1-9
Modern English Version
The Tabernacle Lamps(A)
24 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the lamp, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Outside the veil of the sanctuary, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it continually, from the evening until the morning before the Lord. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations. 4 He shall arrange the lamps continually on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
The Bread of the Tabernacle
5 You shall take wheat flour and bake twelve cakes. Two-tenths of an ephah[a] shall be in each cake. 6 You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, so that it may be on the bread for a memorial, a food offering made by fire to the Lord. 8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in order continually before the Lord, with the portion taken from the children of Israel by a perpetual covenant. 9 It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, for it is most holy to him of the food offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute.
