4 Aaron and the priests must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand continually in the lord’s presence.
5 “You must bake twelve flat loaves of bread from choice flour, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.
6 Place the bread before the lord on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two stacks, with six loaves in each stack.
7 Put some pure frankincense near each stack to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the lord.
8 Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the lord as a gift from the Israelites; it is an ongoing expression of the eternal covenant.
9 The loaves of bread will belong to Aaron and his descendants, who must eat them in a sacred place, for they are most holy. It is the permanent right of the priests to claim this portion of the special gifts presented to the lord.”
10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out of his tent and got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.
