Leviticus 24:2-9

2“Command the Israelites to bring to you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.

3Outside the veil-canopy of the congregation in the Meeting Tent Aaron must arrange it from evening until morning before the Lord continually. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

4On the ceremonially pure lampstand he must arrange the lamps before the Lord continually.

5“You must take choice wheat flour and bake twelve loaves; there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in each loaf,

6and you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the ceremonially pure table before the Lord.

7You must put pure frankincense on each row, and it will become a memorial portion for the bread, a gift to the Lord.

8Each Sabbath day Aaron must arrange it before the Lord continually; this portion is from the Israelites as a perpetual covenant.

9It will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy to him, a perpetual allotted portion from the gifts of the Lord.”
