The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:5-9

The shewbread, or bread of the face, that is, of the presence, was to be made of fine flour , that is, of wheat, and to consist of twelve cakes or loaves, to represent the twelve tribes of Israel, each loaf containing upward of six pounds of flour. The loaves were placed upon the pure table before the Lord ; that is, on the golden table of shewbread within the sanctuary—which stood not far from the vail which partitioned off the holy of holies—toward the north, as the candlestick was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:5-9

The weekly offering. cf. 1 Corinthians 16:2 ; 1 Timothy 5:17 , 1 Timothy 5:18 . Along with the everlasting light from the golden candlestick, there was to be in the holy place a presentation of bread, which was made on the sabbath and lay before the Lord on the prescribed table all the week, becoming the property and support of the priests when they brought the fresh loaves on the succeeding sabbath. The loaves were to be twelve in number, to correspond to the tribes of Israel; they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:5-9

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:5-9

The lesson of the loaves. In this act of worship the Jews made weekly acknowledgment of the goodness of God to them and of their dependence on him; they presented to him a suitable offering of those things he had given them; and they silently pleaded for God's continued remembrance of them and their necessities. The lesson of these loaves, of this "bread of presence," is therefore— I. THAT GOD 'S GIFTS TO US ARE SUCH AS TO DEMAND OUR CONTINUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT .... read more

The shewbread, or bread of the Presence. Corresponding with the number of the tribes, and representing them; a national offering; a meat offering, with frankincense, drink offering, and salt.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:5-9

The shewbread. The furniture and ministry of the tabernacle are most clearly understood in import, if it be remembered that they have a double reference. Like the clouds of the sky, one aspect is towards heaven, the other towards earth. In the ordinance of the shewbread, we may see imaged truths relating to God, and truths with more immediate reference to the position and duties of his people. I. GOD AS THE PRESERVER OF LIFE . Food was essential to the conception of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 24:1-9

The oil for the lamps of the tabernacle and the meal for the showbread were to be offerings from the Congregation, like the meal for the Pentecostal loaves, Leviticus 23:17. It appears that the responsibility of keeping up the lights rested on the high priest, but the actual service might be performed, on ordinary occasions, by the common priests.
