"Showbread" is a word in ENGLISH
Bread of exhibition; loaves to set before God; -- the
term used in translating the various phrases used in the Hebrew and
Greek to designate the loaves of bread which the priest of the week
placed before the Lord on the golden table in the sanctuary. They were
made of fine flour unleavened, and were changed every Sabbath. The
loaves, twelve in number, represented the twelve tribes of Israel. They
were to be eaten by the priests only, and in the Holy Place.
And no wonder; for the new technique of "subliminal projection," as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion.
