Leviticus 24:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 24:7

And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row
Two cups of frankincense, in each of which was an handful of it, and which were set by each row of the cakes, as Jarchi observes: that it may be on the bread for a memorial;
or "for the bread", instead of it, for a memorial of it; that being to be eaten by the priests, and this to be burned on the altar to the Lord, as follows: [even] an offering made by fire unto the Lord;
not the bread that was after a time taken away, and eaten by the priests, but the frankincense.

Leviticus 24:7 In-Context

5 "Also take flour and bake twelve rings of bread. Each ring will contain four quarts of flour.
6 Put them in two stacks of six each on the gold table in the LORD's presence.
7 Lay pure incense on top of each stack. The incense on the bread will be a reminder, an offering by fire to the LORD.
8 Every day of worship [a priest] must arrange the bread in the LORD's presence. It is a continual reminder of my promise to the Israelites.
9 The bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place. It is very holy, set apart from the LORD's offering by fire. This is a permanent law."
