“And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord.”
Along each row put some pure frankincense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. The frankincense placed alongside the bread is the memorial portion of the bread of the Presence: what is burned (the frankincense) represents what is presented (the bread). The same memorial-portion principle as the grain offering (Leviticus 2:2) applies to the bread of the Presence: the representative portion burned before the Lord presents the whole offering to the God who receives it.
