John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world; in and through his word this light shines. By this light we discern the food prepared for our souls; and we should daily, but especially from sabbath to sabbath, feed thereon in our hearts with thanksgiving. And as the loaves were left in the sanctuary, so shoul we abide with God till he dismiss us.
