5-9. take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes —for the showbread, as previously appointed ( :- ). Those cakes were baked by the Levites, the flour being furnished by the people ( 1 Chronicles 9:32 ; 1 Chronicles 23:29 ), oil, wine, and salt being the other ingredients ( 1 Chronicles 23:29- : ). 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 ( 1 Chronicles 23:29- : ; also Luke 6:3 ; Luke 6:4 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
