Context of Leviticus 24:8

6And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the Lord. Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel. 9And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the Lord’s offerings by fire, his portion forever.” 10Now the son of an Israelite woman--his father was an Egyptian--went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man had a fight within the camp.
