The twelve cakes: six on a row;
not by the side of each other, but six upon one another: upon the pure table;

for this stood in the holy place, in the same place as the candlestick did, which has the same position, ( Leviticus 24:4 ) ; of the mystical and typical sense of these cakes, (See Gill on Exodus 25:30).
