The loaves must have been large, since two tenth deals (about six pints) of flour were used for each, Le 24:3, 6, 7. They were served up hot on the sabbath day in the Sanctum, when the stale ones, which had been exposed the whole week, were taken away, and none but the priests were allowed to eat them. In an extraordinary extremity, David and his men partook of the shew-bread, (see 1 Sa 21:6,) the urgent necessity alone justifying the act. The Hebrew signifies bread of faces, or, of the face.

But that {hashshem} THE NAME, denotes Jehovah, appears from its being used in the latter part of verse 16, as equivalent to "the name of Jehovah," in the former part. The Jews also frequently use {hashshem} for Jehovah. cursed.Job 1:5,11,22; 2:5,9,10; Isa 8:21brought him.Ex 18:22,26; Nu 15:33-35 that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them.

Isa 62:2,) hence the Jews, at a very early period, understood this law as prohibiting them from uttering the name Jehovah, on any other than sacred occasions. The Septuagint, which was made at least 250 years before Christ, renders it [Onomazon de to onoma Kyriou, thanato thanatoustho,] "Whosoever nameth the name of the Lord, let him die;" from which we see that the Jews at this time were accustomed to pronounce {adonay,} or Lord, instead of Jehovah; for in place of it the Septuagint always put [Lo Kyrios.] Ex 20:7; 1Ki 21:10-13; Ps 74:10,18; 139:20; Mt 12:31; Mr 3:28,29Joh 8:58,59; 10:33-36; Ac 26:11; 1Ti 1:13; Jas 2:7 And he.Ge 9:5,6; Ex 21:12-14; Nu 35:31; De 19:11,12killeth any man.
