1. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2. "Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.
3. Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
4. He shall keep the lamps in order on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.
5. "Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.
6. You shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord.
7. You shall put pure frankincense on each row that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, even an offering by fire to the Lord.
8. Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel.
9. It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the Lord's offerings by fire, his portion forever."
10. Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp.
11. The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
