²¹ In the tabernacle of meeting, ^(A)outside the veil which is before the Testimony, ^(B)Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening until morning before the Lord. ^(C)It shall be a statute forever to their generations on behalf of the children of Israel.

²¹ It shall be a perpetual statute for them. He who sprinkles the water of purification shall wash his clothes; and he who touches the water of purification shall be unclean until evening.

²³ But the Levites shall perform the work of the tabernacle of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute forever, throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

^11 (A)And they burn to the Lord every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; they also set the ^(B)showbread in order on the pure gold table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps ^(C)to burn every evening; for we keep the command of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken Him.

³ and before ^(A)the lamp of God went out in the ^[a]tabernacle of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down,

^34 (A)This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, ^(B)once a year.” And he did as the Lord commanded Moses.

¹⁷ ‘This shall be a ^(A)perpetual^[a] statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat neither fat nor ^(B)blood.’ ”

⁸ And when Aaron lights the lamps ^[a]at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.

^19 [a]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a ^(A)light that shines in a dark place, ^(B)until ^(C)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your ^(D)hearts;

³⁵ He was the burning and ^(A)shining lamp, and ^(B)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
