³⁰ Put the Bread of the Presence^(A) on the table before me at all times.

⁵ “Take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves;^(A) each loaf is to be made with four quarts.^{[a] 6} Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table^(B) before the Lord. ⁷ Place pure frankincense^(C) near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion^(D) for the bread and a food offering^(E) to the Lord. ⁸ The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a permanent covenant^(F) obligation on the part of the Israelites. ⁹ It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the food offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule.”

⁶ So the priest gave him the consecrated bread,^(A) for there was no bread there except the Bread of the Presence^(B) that had been removed from the presence of the Lord. When the bread was removed, it had been replaced with warm bread.
