SHEWBREAD
Note:
The phrase rendered “the shewbread” is formed by the combination of the
nouns
, “a setting forth” ( , “before,”
, “to place”) and
, “a loaf”
(in the plural), each with the article, Matt. 12:4; Mark 2:26 and Luke 6:4, lit., “the loaves
of the setting forth”; in Heb. 9:2, lit., “the setting forth of the loaves.”¶ The corresponding
OT phrases are lit., “bread of the face,” Exod. 25:30, i.e., the presence, referring to the
Presence of God (cf. Isa. 63:9 with Exod. 33:14, 15); “the bread of ordering,” 1 Chron.
9:32, marg. In Num. 4:7 it is called “the continual bread”; in 1 Sam. 21:4, 6, “holy bread”
(
KJV
, “hallowed”). In the Sept. of 1 Kings 7:48, it is called “the bread of the offering”
(
, “a bearing towards”). The twelve loaves, representing the tribes of Israel,
were set in order every Sabbath day before the Lord, “on the behalf of the children,” Lev.
24:8,
RV
(marg., and
KJV
, “from”), “an everlasting covenant.” The loaves symbolized the
fact that on the basis of the sacrificial atonement of the Cross, believers are accepted
before God, and nourished by Him in the person of Christ. The showbread was partaken
of by the priests, as representatives of the nation. Priesthood now being coextensive with
all who belong to Christ, 1 Pet. 2:5, 9, He, the Living Bread, is the nourishment of all,
and where He is, there, representatively, they are.
SHEWING
@
(
1
, 323), “a shewing forth” ( , “up or forth,” and
$
, “to
show”), is translated “showing” in Luke 1:80.¶
