Olive oil for the lamps

20 Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from fresh olives. You will use this oil to make the lamps give light all the time. 21 Aaron and his sons must make sure that the lamps always give light from evening until morning.

This will always be a rule for the Israelites, now and in the future.
