New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 23
41 You must observe this festival to the LORD for seven days every year. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed in the appointed month from generation to generation.
42 For seven days you must live outside in little shelters. All native-born Israelites must live in shelters.
43 This will remind each new generation of Israelites that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I rescued them from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”
44 So Moses gave the Israelites these instructions regarding the annual festivals of the LORD.
Leviticus 24
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
3 This is the lampstand that stands in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron must keep the lamps burning in the LORD’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.
4 Aaron and the priests must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand continually in the LORD’s presence.
5 “You must bake twelve loaves of bread from choice flour, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.
6 Place the bread before the LORD on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row.
7 Put some pure frankincense near each row to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the LORD.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
