THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Order the People of Israel to bring you virgin olive oil for light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually. Aaron is in charge of keeping these lamps burning in front of the curtain that screens The Testimony in the Tent of Meeting from evening to morning continually before God . This is a perpetual decree down through the generations. Aaron is responsible for keeping the lamps burning continually on the Lampstand of pure gold before God .

Contextual Overview

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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... After he had delivered to him the laws concerning the purity of the priests, and the perfection of the sacrifices they were to offer, and concerning the feasts the people were to keep, he spoke to Moses of some other things which concerned both people and priests:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The oil for the lamps of the tabernacle and the meal for the showbread were to be offerings from the Congregation, like the meal for the Pentecostal loaves, Leviticus 23:17. It appears that the responsibility of keeping up the lights rested on the high priest, but the actual service might be performed, on ordinary occasions, by the common priests. Compare margin reference.

Leviticus 24:5

Each cake or loaf of unleavened bread Leviticus 2:11 was to contain about six pounds and a quarter (see Exodus 29:40 note) of fine flour. The material was the same, both in quality and in quantity, with that of each one of the wave-loaves of Pentecost Leviticus 23:17. In the service of the temple the preparation and arrangement of the cakes was committed to the Levites 1Ch 9:32; 1 Chronicles 23:29; 2 Chronicles 13:11.

Leviticus 24:6

Two rows, six on a row - Rather, two piles, six in a pile. On the table, see Exodus 25:23-30.

Leviticus 24:7

The frankincense as a memorial (like the handful of the meat-offering, Leviticus 2:2), was most likely cast upon the altar-fire as “an offering made by fire unto the Lord,” when the bread was removed from the table on the Sabbath-day Leviticus 24:8; 1 Samuel 21:6. The frankincense was put into small gold cups, one of which was placed upon each pile of bread. (See Exodus 25:23-30 note.)

Leviticus 24:8

Being taken from the children of Israel - Each cake represented the offering of a tribe.

Leviticus 24:9

See Leviticus 2:3 note. It could have been only by a stretch of the law that Ahimelech gave a portion of the showbread to David and his men, on the ground that they were free from ceremonial defilement. 1 Samuel 21:4-6; Matthew 12:4.

The showbread was a true meat-offering (see Exodus 25:29). The special form in which it was offered, especially in its being brought into the tabernacle and in its consisting of twelve loaves, distinguish it as an offering made on behalf of the nation.
