ESV Reformation Study Bible – Ex 25:30
Ex 25:30
25:30 bread of the Presence. This bread could only be eaten by the priests (Lev. 24:8, 9). The careful placement of the twelve loaves (probably symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel) before the Lord, and the eating of the loaves by the people’s religious representatives (the priests) reminded Israel of its constant dependence on God’s life-giving presence.
