¹ tn Heb “with plated gold” (or perhaps, “with pure gold”).

² tn Heb “it.”

³ tn Heb “the bread of the face [or presence].” Many recent English versions employ “the bread of the Presence,” although this does not convey much to the modern reader.

sn This bread was viewed as a perpetual offering to God and was regarded as holy. See Lev 24:5-9.
