1. 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.
