Exegesis
The verse opens with vesamta {וְשַׂמְתָּ֥ | wə-sam-tāʾ} ‘and you shall place’, a vav-consecutive Qal perfect that initiates an imperative instruction to the priest regarding the showbread.
In context — Leviticus 24:6
And you shall place them in two rows , six in each row, on the pure table before the LORD .
