2 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from crushed olives. That oil is for the lamps. These lamps must never go out.
3 Aaron will keep the lamps burning in the Meeting Tent. They will burn from evening until morning before the Lord. This will be in front of the curtain of the Ark of the Covenant. This law will continue from now on.
4 Aaron must always keep the lamps burning. They are on the lampstands of pure gold before the Lord.
5 “Take fine flour and bake 12 loaves of bread with it. Use four quarts of flour for each loaf.
6 Put them in two rows on the golden table before the Lord. Six loaves will be in each row.
7 Put pure incense on each row. This is the memorial portion to take the place of the bread. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath day Aaron will put the bread in order before the Lord. This agreement with the people of Israel will continue forever.
