Wesley's Notes

24:5 Thou - By the priests or Levites, whose work it was to prepare them, 1Chr 9:32. Twelve cakes - Representing the twelve tribes.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5-9. take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes-for the showbread, as previously appointed (Ex 25:30). Those cakes were baked by the Levites, the flour being furnished by the people (1Ch 9:32; 23:29), oil, wine, and salt being the other ingredients (Le 2:13).

two tenth deals-that is, of an ephah-thirteen and a half pounds weight each; and on each row or pile of cakes some frankincense was strewed, which, being burnt, led to the showbread being called "an offering made by fire." Every Sabbath a fresh supply was furnished; hot loaves were placed on the altar instead of the stale ones, which, having lain a week, were removed, and eaten only by the priests, except in cases of necessity (1Sa 21:3-6; also Lu 6:3, 4).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:1-9 The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world; in and through his word this light shines. By this light we discern the food prepared for our souls; and we should daily, but especially from sabbath to sabbath, feed thereon in our hearts with thanksgiving. And as the loaves were left in the sanctuary, so should we abide with God till he dismiss us.


Exodus 25:30 "You shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.
Exodus 39:36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
Exodus 40:23 He set the arrangement of bread in order on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. (NASB ©1995)

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
