The Lamps

24 (A)The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. He shall arrange the lamps on the (B)lampstand of pure gold[a] before the Lord regularly.

Bread for the Tabernacle

“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve (C)loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah[b] shall be in each loaf. And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, (D)on the table of pure gold[c] before the Lord. And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord. (E)Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. And (F)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and (G)they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord's food offerings, a perpetual due.”
