Leviticus 24:5-9
New Catholic Bible
The Bread Offering. 5 “You shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes, two-tenths of an ephah in each cake. 6 You shall set them in two rows, six cakes to a row, on the pure golden table before the Lord. 7 You shall sprinkle pure frankincense[a] upon each row, on the bread, so that it might be a memorial offering made by fire to the Lord. 8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord forever. It is an everlasting covenant for the children of Israel. 9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is a most holy part of his portion of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. This is a statute forever.”
