Bread for the Tabernacle

5 “You shall take fine flour and bake twelve 1loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah[a] shall be in each loaf.
6 And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, 2on the table of pure gold[b] before the Lord.
7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord.
8 3Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever.
9 And 4it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and 5they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord’s food offerings, a perpetual due. ”
