The Table of the Bread of the Presence

Henry Law

Summary

This verse describes the arrangement of the twelve loaves of bread that were to be set out on the table in the tabernacle as a symbol of the Israelites' continual fellowship with God. The bread represented the twelve tribes of Israel, signifying unity and community among God's chosen people. The placement of the bread in the holy place emphasized the importance of sustenance and provision from God in their daily lives. This practice served as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the need for His people to rely on Him for their physical and spiritual nourishment. The bread also foreshadowed the ultimate provision of Jesus Christ as the Bread of Life, who sustains and satisfies the hunger of our souls.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And thou shalt set them in two rows,.... The twelve cakes: six on a row; not by the side of each other, but six upon one another: upon the pure table; the shewbread table, so called because overlaid with pure gold, and kept clean and bright, Exo 25:24, before the Lord; for this stood in the holy place, in the same place as the candlestick did, which has the same position, Lev 24:4; of the mystical and typical sense of these cakes; see Gill on Exo 25:30.
