Leviticus 24:3

Care of the Tabernacle Lamps

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 ^a“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.

3 Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of meeting, Aaron shall be in charge of it from evening until morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a statute forever in your generations.

4 He shall be in charge of the lamps on ^athe pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.

The Bread of the Tabernacle

5 “And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve ^acakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

6 You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, ^aon the pure gold table before the Lord.

Leviticus

LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
