This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. The Sabbath replacement cycle of the bread of the Presence — fresh bread every Sabbath — creates the perpetual covenant meal that the twelve loaves represent. The lasting covenant character of the bread of the Presence communicates the permanent character of the covenant fellowship it represents: the twelve tribes are always at table with God through the bread that is always before His face.
