1Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, to keep a lamp burning continually.

3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening until morning before Yahweh continually. It is a permanent statute throughout your generations.

4On the pure lampstand he shall arrange the lamps before Yahweh continually.
