[255]
However, out of the common charges, baked bread [was set on the table
of shew-bread], without leaven, of twenty-four tenth deals of flour, for
so much is spent upon this bread; two heaps of these were baked, they were
baked the day before the sabbath, but were brought into the holy place
on the morning of the sabbath, and set upon the holy table, six on a heap,
one loaf still standing over against another; where two golden cups full
of frankincense were also set upon them, and there they remained till another
sabbath, and then other loaves were brought in their stead, while the loaves
were given to the priests for their food, and the frankincense was burnt
in that sacred fire wherein all their offerings were burnt also; and so
other frankincense was set upon the loaves instead of what was there before.
The [high priest also, of his own charges, offered a sacrifice, and that
twice every day. It was made of flour mingled with oil, and gently baked
by the fire; the quantity was one tenth deal of flour; he brought the half
of it to the fire in the morning, and the other half at night. The account
of these sacrifices I shall give more accurately hereafter; but I think
I have premised what for the present may be sufficient concerning them.
