It signifies an ordered or structured placement, emphasizing the importance of divine order and provision.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite worship, the showbread was a significant element of the Tabernacle and Temple rituals. Twelve loaves of bread, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, were placed in two rows (maareketh) on a special table in the Holy Place. This bread was a continual offering before the LORD, symbolizing God's perpetual covenant and provision for His people. The priests would replace the bread every Sabbath, and the old loaves were consumed by the priests in a holy place.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6186.htm">arak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a row, line<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>row (2), rows (1), showbread (3), showbread* (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַּעֲרֶ֫נֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>row, line</b></font>; — only of the rows of 'shew'-bread; absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/24-7.htm">Leviticus 24:7</a>, <font class="hebrew2">מַעֲרָ֑כֶת</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/24-6.htm">Leviticus 24:6</a> (P); elsewhere Chronicles: <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לֶחֶם הַמּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/9-32.htm">1 Chronicles 9:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/23-29.htm">1 Chronicles 23:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-34.htm">Nehemiah 10:34</a>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שֻׁלְחַן הַמּ</font>2Chronicles 29:18, compare <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/28-16.htm">1 Chronicles 28:16</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">מַעֲרֶכֶת לֶחֶם</font>2Chronicles 13:11 <em>the row of bread</em>, so <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font>2Chron 2:3 <em>the row of continuity</em>, bread continually present in rows; plural absolute <font class="hebrew2">שׁתַּיִם מַעֲרָכוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/24-6.htm">Leviticus 24:6</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">ערל</font> (√ of following; meaning dubious; compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb079001.gif"> <em>foreskin</em>; Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">עוּרְלְתָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb079002.gif"><img src="/bdbgif/bdb079003.gif">; Late Hebrew = Biblical Hebrew; also Egyptian <i><em>karna <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">θ</font></em> a</i> Brugsch<sup>ÄZ 1876, 128</sup> Krall<sup>SB der Wlener Akkadian, hist.-phil.
