⁵“Get fine flour and bake 12 loaves of bread. Use 16 cups of flour for each loaf. ⁶Place them in two rows. Put six loaves in each row on the table that is made out of pure gold. The table stands in front of me.

⁷“Along each row put some pure incense. It will remind you that all good things come from me. Burn the incense in place of the bread. The incense is an offering that is made to me with fire.

⁸“The bread must be set out in front of me regularly. Do it every Sabbath day. It will be Israel’s duty to provide it for all time to come.
