Making bread and cursing

Ok, this is round 3 in trying to write this. The first time someone accidentally deleted it from his computer, the second was deleted by having the computer turned off, however I did not to it, but was assisted by a cute blond who is attracted by green glowing buttons. (no fault of her own I'm still attracted to green glowing buttons and I'm a lot older than 2). Anyway maybe this one will make it through. We're looking at a couple different topics this Sunday,
Lev 24has both some temple instruction as well as laws around blasphemy. The arrangements of the lampstand and bread have only a couple references in the NT. We see some of the talk in
Heb 9:2 as well Jesus makes reference to David eating of bread in the temple I Sam 12 when he is asked about his disciple breaking the Sabbath Matt 12:1-11 (Mk 2, Lk 6)
As for blasphemy we see both Jesus and Stephen receiving the punishment for the blasphemy they were accused for. I will let you leave your comments on the previous post in regards to capital punishment). None the less blasphemy was considered a serious crime both in the OT and NT.
I'm not sure if there is any reason to these sections in this place outside it being arbitrary instruction. Maybe it is to remind the people about keeping the weekly Sabbath reverent after instruction and emphasis on the other feasts. Maybe it is all introduction to Lev 25 commitment to Sabbath and Jubilee. Well I'm interested in you opinion on it.
