And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.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, Le 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 1Sa 21:6 the urgent necessity alone justifying the act. The Hebrew signifies bread of faces, or, of the face. Ex 25:30 40:23 1Ki 18:31 1Sa 21:4,5 Mt 12:4 Ac 26:7 Jas 1:1
