Context of Leviticus 24:4
2‘Tell Israel's people that they must bring to you the best oil. This will cause the light to burn all the time. 3Aaron must put more oil in the lamp from evening to morning in front of the Lord. The lamp is outside the curtain. That curtain is in the Holy Place. The light must never go out. This rule is for now and for all time to come. The lamps on the gold lampstand must burn always in front of the Lord. 5The people must bake 12 loaves of bread. They must use the best flour. They must weigh the flour for each loaf. They must use two tenths (2/10) of an ephah (4 litres). 6They must put the loaves on a table in two rows in front of the Lord. There must be six loaves in each row.
