Exodus 25:30 "And you shall put show-bread upon the table, for Me, always"

Have you ever heard of bread that stayed fresh for over a week?!

It may sound strange, but at the time of the Beit HaMikdash, this miracle took place every week.

HaShem commanded that twelve show-breads be baked and offered each week. They are to be arranged on a golden table specially designed to hold them.

Each Shabbat, these breads are to be replaced with newly baked loaves while the old ones - still fresh - are eaten by the priests.

The showbread
Was there a time recorded where G-d consumed the bread that was left for Him on the Table of Showbread?
