Context of Leviticus 24:8

6Put them in two stacks of six each on the gold table in the Lord’s presence. 7Lay pure incense on top of each stack. The incense on the bread will be a reminder, an offering by fire to the Lord. Every day of rest is a holy day when the ⌞priest⌟ must arrange the bread in the Lord’s presence. It is a continual reminder of my promise to the Israelites. 9The bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place. It is very holy, set apart from the Lord’s offering by fire. This is a permanent law.” 10A man, whose mother was Shelomith (daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan in Israel) and whose father was from Egypt, got into a quarrel with an Israelite in the camp.
