God repeats instructions given in the book of Exodus
concerning the lamp stand. The flame was to be
continually burning and the children of Israel were
responsible for bringing the oil for the lamp.
Read vss 5-9

again, an instruction given in Exodus. The bread was
to be twelve large loaves placed in two rows. Incense
was placed on the table and the cakes offered on the
