MC Just Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 1 Samuel 21:2-7 2 David went to Ahimelech, the priest of Nob, who came trembling to meet him and asked, "Why are you alone? Is there no one with you?" 3 David answered the priest: "The king gave me a commission and told me to let no one know anything about the business on which he sent me or the commission he gave me. For that reason I have arranged a meeting place with my men. 4 Now what have you on hand? Give me five loaves, or whatever you can find." 5 1 But the priest replied to David, "I have no ordinary bread on hand, only holy bread; if the men have abstained from women, you may eat some of that." 6 David answered the priest: "We have indeed been segregated from women as on previous occasions. Whenever I go on a journey, all the young men are consecrated--even for a secular journey. All the more so today, when they are consecrated at arms!" 7 So the priest gave him holy bread, for no other bread was on hand except the showbread which had been removed from the LORD'S presence and replaced by fresh bread when it was taken away.

phatcatholic Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 well, there are some parallels between this and the eucharist --the bread was given to them by a priest --they had to be w/o defilement before they could eat it --the bread was holy --it represented the Real Presence of the Lord (b/c it came from the Holy Place w/in the Tabernacle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
