Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
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, Leviticus 24:3, Leviticus 24:6, Leviticus 24:7. 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 - see note on 1 Samuel 21:6, the urgent necessity alone justifying the act. The Hebrew signifies bread of faces, or, of the face. Exodus 25:30, Exodus 40:23, 1 Kings 18:31, 1 Samuel 21:4, 1 Samuel 21:5, Matthew 12:4, Acts 26:7, James 1:1
Reciprocal: Exodus 24:4 - according Exodus 25:29 - to cover Exodus 35:13 - General Exodus 40:4 - the things that Leviticus 5:15 - in the Numbers 4:7 - the table 1 Kings 7:48 - the table 1 Chronicles 9:32 - to 1 Chronicles 23:29 - for the showbread 2 Chronicles 2:4 - the continual 2 Chronicles 4:19 - the tables 2 Chronicles 13:11 - showbread Nehemiah 10:33 - the showbread Matthew 19:28 - the twelve Mark 2:26 - which is not lawful Luke 6:4 - which Hebrews 9:2 - the table

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shalt take fine flour,.... Of wheat, and the finest of it:
and bake twelve cakes thereof; answerable to the twelve tribes, as the Targum of Jonathan, which were typical of the spiritual Israel of God;
two tenth deals shall be in one cake; that is, two tenth parts of an ephah, which were two omers, one of which was as much as a man could eat in one day of the manna: so that one of these cakes was as much as two men could eat of bread in one day; each cake was ten hands' breadth long, five broad, and seven fingers its horns, or was so high g.
g Menachot, c. 11. sect. 4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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. Compare margin reference.
Leviticus 24:5
Each cake or loaf of unleavened bread Leviticus 2:11 was to contain about six pounds and a quarter (see Exodus 29:40 note) of fine flour. The material was the same, both in quality and in quantity, with that of each one of the wave-loaves of Pentecost Leviticus 23:17. In the service of the temple the preparation and arrangement of the cakes was committed to the Levites 1Ch 9:32; 1 Chronicles 23:29; 2 Chronicles 13:11.
Leviticus 24:6
Two rows, six on a row - Rather, two piles, six in a pile. On the table, see Exodus 25:23-30.
Leviticus 24:7
The frankincense as a memorial (like the handful of the meat-offering, Leviticus 2:2), was most likely cast upon the altar-fire as âan offering made by fire unto the Lord,â when the bread was removed from the table on the Sabbath-day Leviticus 24:8; 1 Samuel 21:6. The frankincense was put into small gold cups, one of which was placed upon each pile of bread. (See Exodus 25:23-30 note.)
Leviticus 24:8
Being taken from the children of Israel - Each cake represented the offering of a tribe.
Leviticus 24:9
See Leviticus 2:3 note. It could have been only by a stretch of the law that Ahimelech gave a portion of the showbread to David and his men, on the ground that they were free from ceremonial defilement. 1 Samuel 21:4-6; Matthew 12:4.
The showbread was a true meat-offering (see Exodus 25:29). The special form in which it was offered, especially in its being brought into the tabernacle and in its consisting of twelve loaves, distinguish it as an offering made on behalf of the nation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 24:5. Bake twelve cakes — See the whole account of the shew-bread in Clarke's notes on "Exodus 25:30"; and relative to the table on which they stood, the golden candlestick and silver trumpets carried in triumph to Rome, Exodus 25:31; Exodus 25:31.
