2 Samuel 6:19

He then handed out to each member of the entire assembly of Israel, ¹  both men and women, a portion of bread, a date cake, ²  and a raisin cake. Then all the people went home. ³ 

1Ki 8:66; 1Ch 16:3; 2Ch 7:10; 2Ch 30:24; 2Ch 35:7,8,12,13; Ne 8:10; Eze 45:17; Ac 20:35; Eph 4:8

¹ tn Heb “to all the people, to all the throng of Israel.”

² tn The Hebrew word used here אֶשְׁפָּר (’espar) is found in the OT only here and in the parallel passage found in 1 Chr 16:3. Its exact meaning is uncertain, although the context indicates that it was a food of some sort (cf. KJV “a good piece of flesh”; NRSV “a portion of meat”). The translation adopted here (“date cake”) follows the lead of the Greek translations of the LXX, Aquila, and Symmachus (cf. NASB, NIV, NLT).

³ tn Heb “and all the people went, each to his house.”
