Herren sa videre til Moses: «Befal Israels folk at de skal komme til deg med ren lampeolje. Den skal være presset av oliven og skal holde lampene brennende hele tiden. Utenfor forhenget, der budtavlene er oppbevart i åpenbaringsteltet, skal Aron hele tiden passe på lampene, så de kan brenne fra kveld til morgen, til ære for Gud og i Hans nærvær. Det skal være en evig lov som også skal følges av slektene etter dere. Han skal holde i stand lampene på lysestaken av gull, hele tiden for Herrens ansikt.
