View In My Bible
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2
"Command the people of Israel to provide you with pure olive oil for the lampstand, so it can be kept burning continually.
3
Aaron will set it up outside the inner curtain of the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle a and must arrange to have the lamps tended continually, from evening until morning, before the LORD. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be kept by all future generations.
4
The lamps on the pure gold lampstand must be tended continually in the LORD's presence.
5
"You must bake twelve loaves of bread from choice flour, using three quarts b of flour for each loaf.
6
Place the bread in the LORD's presence on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two rows, with six in each row.
7
Sprinkle some pure frankincense near each row. It will serve as a token offering, to be burned in place of the bread as an offering given to the LORD by fire.
8
Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a continual part of the covenant.
9
The loaves of bread belong to Aaron and his male descendants, who must eat them in a sacred place, for they represent a most holy portion of the offerings given to the LORD by fire."
