Day 166 of 339

Re: Questions Although the showbread was matzah and not chametz, it did not look anything like the matzah we know of. The showbread was seven fingerbreadths thick, making it look like a low rising bread. The prohibition against making it chametz meant that no yeast or starter dough may be added, but it did not determine the height of the bread. Presumably, with such bread one can tell if it is fresh or not.

The Omer offering as well was not to be made chametz, and was therefore allowed to be eaten on Passover. Reply

Questions Thank you very much for this class serials. It's beautiful!
One question: Having show bread like Matza, how it was recognized as always fresh. What sign showed that it was fresh. Where did this bread go during Passover? I have another question that also connected to this topic: On the second day of Passover there were Omer offering with meal offering to Cohanim. Were they allowed to eat Omer meal offering on the second day of Passover?
Thank you again! Reply
