תלמוד לומר (דברים יח, ח) חלק כחלק יאכלו כחלק עבודה כך חלק אכילה ומאי אכילה אילימא קרבנות מהתם נפקא (ויקרא ז, ט) לכהן המקריב אותה לו תהיה אלא לחם הפנים

Scripture says, "They shall receive equal portions to eat," (Deuteronomy 18:8) meaning, as the division of the service [is equal for all], so is the division of the food. Now what food [could this mean]? If you will say that it means the sacrifices, do we not deduce that from a different verse, "It shall be the priest's that offers it?" (Leviticus 7:9). Rather this must refer to the showbread.
