Exod. 27. 20: Pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.
If the oil is to feed a lamp so that it burns continually, it must be pure. In how many ways the question is brought home to us! Are we willing for whatever is required for purification? Have we any mental reserve?
