What Does 1 Chronicles 9:32 Mean?
Another duty fell to certain Kohathite Levites: the preparation of the shewbread, the loaves set before the LORD in the holy place, renewed every sabbath day.
The shewbread, the bread of the Presence, stood continually before God as a sign of His people set always before Him. Week by week it was made fresh, an unbroken token of covenant fellowship. This faithful weekly service points beyond itself to the One who would call Himself the bread of life, the true and living bread given for the world. In the steady baking of these loaves, Israel kept before its eyes the promise of communion with God.
