"Also take flour and bake twelve rings of bread. Each ring will contain four quarts of flour.

Put them in two stacks of six each on the gold table in the LORD's presence.

8
Every day of worship [a priest] must arrange the bread in the LORD's presence. It is a continual reminder of my promise to the Israelites.

"The man who cursed [my name] must be taken outside the camp. All who heard him curse [my name] must lay their hands on his head. Then the whole congregation must stone him to death.
