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 Take twenty-four pounds of flour and bake twelve loaves of bread.
6 Put the loaves in two rows, six in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, which is in the Lord's presence.
7 Put some pure incense on each row, as a token food offering to the Lord to take the place of the bread.
8 Every Sabbath, for all time to come, the bread must be placed in the presence of the Lord. This is Israel's duty forever.
9 The bread belongs to Aaron and his descendants, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because this is a very holy part of the food offered to the Lord for the priests.
