Leviticus 24:1-7

1 et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

2 praecipe filiis Israhel ut adferant tibi oleum de olivis purissimum ac lucidum ad concinnandas lucernas iugiter

3 extra velum testimonii in tabernaculo foederis ponetque eas Aaron a vespere usque in mane coram Domino cultu rituque perpetuo in generationibus vestris

4 super candelabro mundissimo ponentur semper in conspectu Domini

5 accipies quoque similam et coques ex ea duodecim panes qui singuli habebunt duas decimas

6 quorum senos altrinsecus super mensam purissimam coram Domino statues

7 et pones super eos tus lucidissimum ut sit panis in monumentum oblationis Domini
