“Take fine flour and bake 12 loaves of bread with it. Use four quarts of flour for each loaf. Put them in two rows on the golden table before the Lord. Six loaves will be in each row. Put pure incense on each row. This is the memorial portion to take the place of the bread. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord. Every Sabbath day Aaron will put the bread in order before the Lord. This agreement with the people of Israel will continue forever. That bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place. This is because it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. That bread is their share forever.”
