The loaves of bread which the officiating priest placed every sabbath day upon the golden table in the Sanctum, before the LORD, were twelve in number, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. The loaves must have been large, since two tenth deals (about six pints) of flour were used for each, Lev 24:3,6, 7. They were served up hot on the sabbath day in the Sanctum, when the stale ones, which had been exposed the whole week, were taken away, and none but the priests were allowed to eat them. In an extraordinary extremity, David and his men partook of the shew-bread, (see 1Sa 21:6,) the urgent necessity alone justifying the act. The Hebrew signifies bread of faces, or, of the face. See Exd 25:30; Exd 40:23; 1Ki 18:31; 1Sa 21:4,5; Mat 12:4; Act 26:7; Jam 1:1 |
