Leviticus 24:1-9

New Century Version

The Lampstand and the Holy Bread

24 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from crushed olives. That oil is for the lamps so that these lamps may never go out. ³ Aaron will keep the lamps burning in the Meeting Tent from evening until morning before the Lord; this is in front of the curtain of the Ark of the Agreement. This law will continue from now on. ⁴ Aaron must always keep the lamps burning on the lampstands of pure gold before the Lord.

⁵ “Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread with it, using four quarts of flour for each loaf. ⁶ Put them in two rows on the golden table before the Lord, six loaves in each row. ⁷ Put pure incense on each row as the memorial portion to take the place of the bread. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord. ⁸ Every Sabbath day Aaron will put the bread in order before the Lord, as an agreement with the people of Israel that will continue forever. ⁹ That bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. That bread is their share forever.”
