Exegesis
The phrase lifnei YHWH {לִפְנֵי יְהוָה | li·p̄ə·nê Yə·hō·wāh} ‘before the LORD’ directs worship toward the divine presence, while the adverb tāmid {תָּמִיד | tā·mîḏ} ‘continually’ highlights durative worship.
In context — Leviticus 24:3
Outside the curtain of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening until morning before the LORD continually. This is a perpetual statute for your generations.
