Leviticus 24:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Lamp

24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ² Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. ³ Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant,^[a] to burn from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
