⁴ “‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven,^(A) it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in or thin loaves^(B) made without yeast and brushed with olive oil.^{(C) 5} If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle,^(D) it is to be made of the finest flour mixed with oil, and without yeast.

⁵ “Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread,^(A) using two-tenths of an ephah^[a](B) for each loaf. ⁶ Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold^(C) before the Lord. ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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.
