9 and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it 'is' most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah—a statute age-during.'

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 24:9

Commentary on Leviticus 24:1-9

(Read Leviticus 24:1-9)

The loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world; in and through his word this light shines. By this light we discern the food prepared for our souls; and we should daily, but especially from sabbath to sabbath, feed thereon in our hearts with thanksgiving. And as the loaves were left in the sanctuary, so should we abide with God till he dismiss us.
