Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

"Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you ^(C1)clear oil from beaten olives for the ^(F1)light, to make a lamp ^(F2)burn continually.

"Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations.

"He shall keep the lamps in order on the ^(C1)pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.

"^(C1)Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve ^(F1)cakes with it; ^(F2)two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

"And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the ^(C1)pure gold table before the LORD.

"You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be ^(C1)a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the LORD.

"^(C1)Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD ^(C2)continually; it is an everlasting covenant ^(F1)for the sons of Israel.

"And ^(C1)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the LORD'S offerings by fire, his portion forever."
