Take twenty-four pounds of flour and bake twelve loaves of bread.

6
Put the loaves in two rows, six in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, which is in the Lord's presence.
7
Put some pure incense on each row, as a token food offering to the Lord to take the place of the bread.
8
Every Sabbath, for all time to come, the bread must be placed in the presence of the Lord. This is Israel's duty forever.

The bread belongs to Aaron and his descendants, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because this is a very holy part of the food offered to the Lord for the priests.

12
put him under guard, and waited for the Lord to tell them what to do with him.
13
The Lord said to Moses,
14
"Take that man out of the camp. Everyone who heard him curse shall put his hands on the man's head to testify that he is guilty, and then the whole community shall stone him to death.
15
Then tell the people of Israel that anyone who curses God must suffer the consequences
