Leviticus 24:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 You shall sprinkle pure frankincense[a] upon each row, on the bread, so that it might be a memorial offering made by fire to the Lord. 8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord forever. It is an everlasting covenant for the children of Israel. 9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is a most holy part of his portion of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. This is a statute forever.”
