The table: its length was ten hand-breadths and its width, five ; the <i>Lechem Hapanim</i> its length was ten hand-breadths and its width five . He would place its long side across the breadth of the table, and [when preparing the bread before baking,] he would fold up two and a half hand-breadths on this side and two and half on this side so that its length filled the entire breadth of the table, the words of Rabbi Judah. Rabbi Meir says: the table: its length was twelve hand-breadths and its width six ; the <i>Lechem Hapanim</i> its length was ten hand-breadths and its width five . He would place its long sided across the breadth of the table, and he would fold up two hand-breadths on this side and two on this side ; and there was a space of two hand-breadths between [the two sets] so that the wind could blow between them. Abba Shaul says: There they used to put the two dishes of frankincense for the <i>Lechem Hapanim</i> . They said to him: Has it not already been said, “And you shall put pure frankincense <b>upon</b> [<i>al</i>] each row” (Leviticus 24:7)? He replied, But has it not also been said, “And <b>next to</b> [<i>al</i>] him shall be the tribe of Manasseh” (Numbers 2:20)?
