1 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.

2 tn Heb “take in your hand.”

3 tn Heb “the bread of affliction and the water of affliction.”

4 tn Heb “come in peace.” So also in v. 28.
