The Sacred Duty of Showbread
Commentators explain that the 'showbread,' also called the 'Bread of the Presence,' was a set of twelve loaves prepared weekly. This task was specifically assigned to members of the Kohathite clan of Levites. Every Sabbath, they prepared the bread for the priests to place on the holy table, serving as a constant symbol of God's covenant and provision for Israel.
