The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary
1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually. 3Outside 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. 4He shall keep the lamps in order on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.
5“Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. 6And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the Lord. 8Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel. 9And 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.”
