Leviticus 24:1-9

¹The Lord told Moses,

²“Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.

³From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.

⁴He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.

⁵Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.

⁶Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.

⁷Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.

⁸Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.

⁹It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
