SCRIPTURE

"Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations." — Leviticus 24:3 (ASV)

Without the vail of the testimony. —That is, the second veil, which divided the holy from the most holy. (See Exodus 27:21.)

In the tabernacle of the congregation. —Better, in the tent of meeting.

A statute for ever in your generations. —Better, a statute for ever throughout your generations, as this phrase is rendered in the Authorized Version in Leviticus 23:14; Leviticus 23:31, and elsewhere. (See Leviticus 3:17.)
