20 “You
shall command the
children of Israel,
that they bring
to you pure
olive oil beaten
for the light,
to cause a lamp
to burn
continually.
21 In
the Tent of
Meeting, outside
the veil which
is before
the covenant, Aaron
and his sons
shall keep it
in order from
evening to morning
before the LORD:
it shall be
a statute forever
throughout their
generations on the
behalf of the
children of Israel.
