Leviticus 24:5-6

24:5 “You must take choice wheat flour ¹  and bake twelve loaves; ²  there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in ³  each loaf, 24:6 and you must set them in two rows, six in a row, ⁴  on the ceremonially pure table before the Lord.

Leviticus 23:17

23:17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of ⁵  bread for a wave offering; they must be made from two tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour, baked with yeast, ⁶  as first fruits to the Lord.

¹ sn See the note on Lev 2:1.

² tn Heb “and bake it twelve loaves”; KJV, NAB, NASB “cakes.”

³ tn The words “of flour” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “six of the row.”

⁷ tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. insert the word חַלּוֹת (khallot, “loaves”; cf. Lev 2:4 and the note there). Even though “loaves” is not explicit in the MT, the number “two” suggests that these are discrete units, not just a measure of flour, so “loaves” should be assumed even in the MT.

⁸ tn Heb “with leaven.” The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.
