Leviticus 24:1-9
Christian Standard Bible
Tabernacle Oil and Bread
24 The Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for the light, in order to keep the lamp burning regularly.(A) 3 Aaron is to tend it continually from evening until morning before the Lord outside the curtain(B) of the testimony(C) in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations. 4 He must continually tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand in the Lord’s presence.(D)
5 “Take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves;(E) each loaf is to be made with four quarts.[a] 6 Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table(F) before the Lord. 7 Place pure frankincense(G) near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion(H) for the bread and a food offering(I) to the Lord. 8 The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a permanent covenant(J) obligation on the part of the Israelites. 9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the food offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule.”
