1
The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
2
Command the children of Yisra'el, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
3
Outside of the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aharon keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure menorah before the LORD continually.
5
You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts [of an efah] shall be in one cake.
6
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure table before the LORD.
7
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8
Every Shabbat day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Yisra'el, an everlasting covenant.
9
It shall be for Aharon and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
