Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 29. - Both for the shewbread, and... size. Seven other specifications of service are continued in this verse, with which we may compare 1 Chronicles 9:26-32. For the shewbread. The first mention of shewbread is found in Exodus 25:30. The directions for making it are found in Leviticus 24:5-9. The twelve unleavened cakes of which it consisted, heaped on the table in two piles, represented the twelve tribes, and intimated the Divine acceptance of the offerings of each faithful tribe (see also 2 Chronicles 13:11). For the fine flour for meat offering. This is spoken of in Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 2:1-7; Leviticus 6:14, 15, 19-27; Leviticus 23:13; Leviticus 14:5. For the unleavened cakes... the pan... fried. These are spoken of in Leviticus 2:4-7. For all manner of measure and size; Hebrew וּלְכָל־מְשׂוּרֶה וּמִדָּה. These two words occur also in Leviticus 19:35, 36, where they are rendered respectively "in measure" and "in meteyard." Perhaps the exacter rendering here would be "for all matters of liquid and solid measure."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour.--Rather, And over the shewbread, and over, &c. "For" (l?) continues the sense of "over" ('al). The Levitical assistants of the priests had to see to the preparation of the things here enumerated.And for that which is baked in the pan.--Literally, and over the pan (Leviticus 2:5).And for that which is fried.--Rather, and over that which is soaked in oil (a kind of cake, Leviticus 7:12).And for all manner of measure and size.--The flour and wine and oil, which were the complements of every sacrifice, were measured by the Levites in standard vessels, of which they had the keeping. Exodus 29:40 shows that the proportions were fixed for each kind of offering. "Measure" (m?s-r?h), a rare word, implies measure of capacity; "size" (midd?h), measure of length (Rashi).
