¹⁶ The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,^(A) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.

⁷ By each stack put some pure incense^(A) as a memorial^[a] portion^(B) to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. ⁸ This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly,^(C) Sabbath after Sabbath,^(D) on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. ⁹ It belongs to Aaron and his sons,^(E) who are to eat it in the sanctuary area,^(F) because it is a most holy^(G) part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”

¹⁹ Whatever is set aside from the holy^(A) offerings the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt^(B) before the Lord for both you and your offspring.”
