For the shewbread
To defray the expenses of the twelve loaves, which every week were set on the table of shewbread, ( Leviticus 24:5-9 ) ,

and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual
burnt offering;
for the daily sacrifice, morning and evening, which always had a meat offering along with it, ( Exodus 29:38-42 ) ,

of the sabbaths, and of the new moons;
on which were additional sacrifices, ( Numbers 28:9-15 ) ,

and for the set feasts;
of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles; in which also were offered other sacrifices, besides the daily one, ( Numbers 28:16-31 ) ( 29:1-39 ) ,

and for the holy things:
which were both by way of thanksgiving to God, and that they might feast and rejoice together:

and for the sin offerings, to make an atonement for Israel;
for the whole body of the people, and so were made at the public expense:

and for all the work of the house of our God;
whatever else was necessary that is not mentioned.
