Commentaries on Exodus 25:30
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Shew-bread - פנים לחם lechem panim literally, bread of faces; so called, either because they were placed before the presence or face of God in the sanctuary, or because they were made square, as the Jews will have it. It is probable that they were in the form of cubes or hexaedrons, each side presenting the same appearance; and hence the Jews might suppose they were called the bread or loaves of faces: but the Hebrew text seems to intimate that they were…Read the comment

Also the food for their souls, which they always find when they hunger after it; and the delight he takes…Read the comment
