Leviticus 24:1-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Lamp

24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly.^{(A) 3} Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant, to burn from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. ⁴ He shall set up the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold^[a] before the Lord regularly.^(B)

The Bread for the Tabernacle

⁵ “You shall take choice flour and bake twelve loaves of it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf.^{(C) 6} You shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before the Lord.^{[b](D) 7} You shall put pure frankincense with each row, to be a token offering for the bread, as an offering by fire^[c] to the Lord. ⁸ Every Sabbath day Aaron shall set them in order before the Lord regularly as a commitment of the Israelites, as a covenant forever.^{(E) 9} They shall be for Aaron and his descendants, who shall eat them in a holy place, for they are most holy portions for him from the offerings by fire^[d] to the Lord, a perpetual due.”^(F)
