Footnotes

  1. Exodus 25:29 Etymology suggests that the Hebrew word qe’ara refers to a deep dish or bowl, but some think it means platter.
  2. Exodus 25:29 The Hebrew word kaf refers to the palm of the hand, so it refers to a small bowl, spoon, or ladle.
  3. Exodus 25:29 The precise identification of the four types of vessels or utensils is uncertain. Jars and jugs are among the possibilities. Some rabbinic writers believed that the vessels include molds for the loaves of bread and stands to separate the loaves. Discussions in the rabbinic writings show that there was no consensus on the meaning of many terms in this section of Exodus.
  4. Exodus 25:30 Literally bread of the face. Traditionally translated show bread, following the suggestion of Luther.
