The original pasuk (line) in the parsha Tetzaveh is “Ve’atah tetsaveh et-beney Yisra’el veyikchu eleycha shemen zayit zach katit lama’or leha’alot ner tamid” (“You, [Moses], must command the Israelites to bring you clear illuminating oil, made from hand crushed olives, to keep the lamp constantly burning”).² 1. The ma’amar originally presented in 5741 and distributed in 5752. 2. The source of the transliteration and translation or the pasuk (line) 27.20 of Shemos is bible.ort.org.
