The Table of Showbread
This table contained twelve loaves of bread, representing the twelve tribes of Israel.
The priests would eat these on the Sabbath day.
Jesus, our Sabbath bread, says in John 6:48-51---
"I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and are dead. But this is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever;
and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."
