“Take ·fine [choice] flour and bake twelve loaves of bread with it, using ·four quarts [L two-tenths of an ephah] of flour for each loaf. Put them in two rows on the ·golden [L pure] table [Ex. 25:23–30] before the Lord, six loaves in each row. Put pure incense on each row as 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, as an ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with the people of Israel that will continue forever. That bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. That bread is their share forever.”

“Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread,(A) using two-tenths of an ephah[a](B) for each loaf. Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold(C) before the Lord. By each stack put some pure incense(D) as a memorial[b] portion(E) to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly,(F) Sabbath after Sabbath,(G) on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. It belongs to Aaron and his sons,(H) who are to eat it in the sanctuary area,(I) because it is a most holy(J) part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”
