4 “There is no common bread on hand,” the priest replied (beloved), “but there is some consecrated bread—provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.”

5 David (beloved) answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the bodies of the young men are holy even on common missions. How much more so today!”

6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD {YHWH} and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.
