Leviticus 24:1-9

New American Standard Bible

The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary

24 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you ^(A)clear oil from beaten olives for the ^[a]light, to make a lamp ^[b]burn continually. ³ Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations. ⁴ He shall keep the lamps in order on the ^(B)pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.

⁵ “^(C)Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve ^[c]cakes with it; ^[d]two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. ⁶ And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the ^(D)pure gold table before the Lord. ⁷ You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be ^(E)a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the Lord. ^8 (F)Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord ^(G)continually; it is an everlasting covenant ^[e]for the sons of Israel. ⁹ And ^(H)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the Lord’s offerings by fire, his portion forever.”
