Bread of exhibition; loaves to set before God; -- the
   term used in translating the various phrases used in the Hebrew and
   Greek to designate the loaves of bread which the priest of the week
   placed before the Lord on the golden table in the sanctuary. They were
   made of fine flour unleavened, and were changed every Sabbath. The
   loaves, twelve in number, represented the twelve tribes of Israel. They
   were to be eaten by the priests only, and in the Holy Place.
