Bread, often in the form of a loaf, is frequently mentioned throughout the Bible, serving both practical and symbolic purposes.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, bread was a central part of the diet in ancient Israel. The process of making bread involved grinding grain into flour, mixing it with water, and baking it, often in the form of a loaf. The Israelites were instructed to use unleavened bread during the Passover, as seen in <a href="/exodus/12-8.htm">Exodus 12:8</a>, which states, "They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs."<br><br>The offering of loaves was also a significant aspect of worship. <a href="/leviticus/24-5.htm">Leviticus 24:5-9</a> describes the "showbread" or "bread of the Presence," which consisted of twelve loaves placed on the table in the Tabernacle as a perpetual offering before the Lord. This bread symbolized God's covenant with the twelve tribes of Israel and His continual provision for His people.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the loaf of bread takes on additional symbolic meaning, particularly in the teachings and miracles of Jesus Christ. One of the most notable miracles involving loaves is the feeding of the five thousand, where Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed a large crowd. <a href="/matthew/14-19.htm">Matthew 14:19</a> recounts, "And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people."<br><br>The loaf of bread is also central to the Last Supper, where Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper or Communion. During this meal, Jesus broke a loaf of bread and gave it to His disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is My body" (<a href="/matthew/26-26.htm">Matthew 26:26</a>). This act established the loaf as a symbol of Christ's body, broken for the salvation of humanity.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Spiritual Significance</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, the loaf of bread symbolizes God's provision and the sustenance He provides both physically and spiritually. In <a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>, Jesus declares, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst." Here, the loaf represents Jesus Himself, the spiritual nourishment and eternal life He offers to believers.<br><br>The breaking of the loaf during Communion serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice and the unity of believers in His body. As Paul writes in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-16.htm">1 Corinthians 10:16-17</a>, "Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf."<br><br>In summary, the loaf of bread in the Bible is a multifaceted symbol of God's provision, Christ's sacrifice, and the unity of believers. It serves as a reminder of the physical and spiritual sustenance provided by God and the eternal life offered through Jesus Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
