Leviticus 24:5-7

The order for keeping the LORD'S table always furnished with bread, was appointed in Exodus 25:30. And no doubt this was a sweet type of him who is the bread of life, which came down from heaven, implying that there is no famine where JESUS is; but he that eateth of him shall live forever. Well may we be ever using the apostle's prayer, John 6:33. Observe, the number of loaves, or cakes, was twelve; implying, no doubt, thereby, that there was one for each tribe of the house of Israel. And it is yet worthy of further observation, that even after the defection of the two tribes, this service of the show-bread was continued, 2 Chronicles 13:11. Perhaps a remnant of each tribe remained, or if not, the LORD'S mercy is not straitened by man's undeservings. The apostle reasoneth very sweetly upon this, Romans 11:1. Two tenth deals, in point of quantity, was two omens. Exodus 16:22. How precious is the thought, that JESUS is both the altar and the show-bread; and all that come to GOD by him, find him as a table spread with living bread, every day, and all the day, even in this wilderness. The frankincense for a memorial, is no unapt representation of the fragrance of his merits. Revelation 8:3.
