shewbread Jewish Antiq.|ˈʃəʊbrɛd|
Also 6 schew-, shewe- (9 Dicts. show-); see also bread.
[f. shew, show n., after G. schaubrot (Luther); the compound seems correctly to represent the sense of the Heb. ˈleχem pāˈnīm, LXX ἄρτοι ἐνώπιοι, Vulg. panes propositionis.]
The twelve loaves that were placed every Sabbath ‘before the Lord’ on a table beside the altar of incense, and at the end of the week were eaten by the priests alone.
In 16th c. writers sometimes in pl., after the LXX and the Vulgate; the Geneva Bible (1557) has shewe loues.
