The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you (A)clear oil from beaten olives for the (a)light, to make a lamp (b)burn continually. 3 Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations. 4 He shall keep the lamps in order on the (B)pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.
