Leviticus 24:6

4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.

5 You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,

and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.

7 And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
