א 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
1 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.
