Leviticus 24:15-16-23 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

2. to say to the community of Israel:You must supply the purest olive oil for the lamps in the sacred tent, so they will keep burning.

5. Use your finest flour to bake twelve loaves of bread about two kilogrammes each,

6. then take them into the sacred tent and lay them on the gold table in two rows of six loaves.

7. Beside each row put some pure incense that will be sent up by fire in place of the bread as an offering to me.

8. Aaron must lay fresh loaves on the table each Sabbath, and priests in all generations must continue this practice as part of Israel's agreement with me.

9. This bread will always belong to Aaron and his family; it is very holy because it was offered to me, and it must be eaten in a holy place.

15-16. And warn the others that everyone else who curses me will die in the same way, whether they are Israelites by birth or foreigners living among you.
