Shmuel Alef 21:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^3 (4) Now therefore what is under thine yad? Give me five lechem in mine yad, or whatever there is found.

^4 (5) And the Kohen answered Dovid, and said, There is no lechem chol (ordinary bread) under mine yad, but there is lechem kodesh; if the ne’arim have kept themselves at least from isha.

^5 (6) And Dovid answered the Kohen, and said unto him, Indeed isha have been kept from us yesterday and the day before, since I set out, and the vessels of the ne’arim (young men) are kodesh, and if this is a derech chol (ordinary mission) indeed it will remain kodesh today in their vesels.
