"Command the people of Israel to bring you the best olive oil for the lamp, so that it can be lit each evening.

Aaron and his sons are to set up the lamp in the Tent of my presence outside the curtain which is in front of the Covenant Box. There in my presence it is to burn from evening until morning. This command is to be kept forever by the Israelites and their descendants.

Every morning when Aaron comes to take care of the lamps, he is to burn sweet-smelling incense on it.

He must do the same when he lights the lamps in the evening. This offering of incense is to continue without interruption for all time to come.

to give the following orders to the people of Israel: Bring pure olive oil of the finest quality for the lamps in the Tent, so that a light might be kept burning regularly.

Aaron shall take care of the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold and must see that they burn regularly in the LORD's presence.

Every morning and every evening they offer him incense and animal sacrifices burned whole. They present the offerings of bread on a table that is ritually clean, and every evening they light the lamps on the gold lampstand. We do what the LORD has commanded, but you have abandoned him.

Peninnah, her rival, would torment and humiliate her, because the LORD had kept her childless.

But because of your great love I can come into your house; I can worship in your holy Temple and bow down to you in reverence.

I have asked the LORD for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the LORD's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance.

The LORD's voice shakes the oaks and strips the leaves from the trees while everyone in his Temple shouts, "Glory to God!"
