For the shewbread, etc.] To defray the expenses of the twelve loaves, which every week were set on the table of shewbread, (<032405>Leviticus 24:5-9), and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering; for the daily sacrifice, morning and evening, which always had a meat offering along with it, (<022938>Exodus 29:38-42), of the sabbaths, and of the new moons; on which were additional sacrifices, (<042809>Numbers 28:9-15), and for the set feasts; of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles; in which also were offered other sacrifices, besides the daily one, (<042816>Numbers 28:16-31 29:1-39), and for the holy things: which were both by way of thanksgiving to God, and that they might feast and rejoice together: and for the sin offerings, to make an atonement for Israel; for the whole body of the people, and so were made at the public expense: and for all the work of the house of our God; whatever else was necessary that is not mentioned.
