Leviticus 24:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Lamp

24 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning continually. ³ Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
