It symbolizes prayer and worship rising to God, as seen in <a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a> and <a href="/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3-4</a>. The use of "pure" indicates the need for offerings to be unblemished, reflecting God's holiness. The placement "near each row" of the showbread in the Tabernacle signifies the importance of order and precision in worship, as detailed in <a href="/exodus/25-30.htm">Exodus 25:30</a>.<p><b>so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread</b><br>The "memorial portion" is a concept where part of an offering is set aside to remind the people of God's provision and covenant. This practice is rooted in the idea of remembrance, similar to the Passover (<a href="/exodus/12-14.htm">Exodus 12:14</a>). The bread, known as the Bread of the Presence, symbolizes God's continual presence and sustenance for Israel, prefiguring Christ as the Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>).<p><b>a food offering to the LORD</b><br>Food offerings were a central part of Israelite worship, symbolizing fellowship and communion with God. This offering, though not consumed by God, represents the dedication of the people's sustenance back to Him, acknowledging His provision. The phrase "to the LORD" emphasizes that all offerings are directed to Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel, reinforcing the exclusive worship due to Him alone, as seen in the First Commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Leviticus, who received the laws and instructions from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The recipients of the laws given in Leviticus, who were to follow these instructions as part of their covenant relationship with God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The sacred place where the Israelites worshiped God, and where the bread of the Presence was placed.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/f/frankincense.htm">Frankincense</a></b><br>A valuable resin used in worship, symbolizing prayer and purity, placed near the bread as a memorial offering.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/b/bread_of_the_presence.htm">Bread of the Presence</a></b><br>Twelve loaves representing the twelve tribes of Israel, placed on the table in the Holy Place as a continual offering before God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_frankincense.htm">Symbolism of Frankincense</a></b><br>Frankincense represents purity and prayer.
