Shewbread (Showbread)

“A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.”

“So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.”

“You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,”

“And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.”

“Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.”

“We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:”

“for the showbread, for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings, for the Sabbath offerings, for the New Moons and appointed feasts, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the duties of the house of our God.”

“Some of their Kohathite brothers were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath.”
