3	Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”	Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever is here.”	Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”
4	The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”	And the priest answered David, “I have no common bread on hand, but there is holy bread—if the young men have kept themselves from women.”	But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.”
5	David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”	And David answered the priest, “Truly women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition. The vessels of the young men are holy even when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will their vessels be holy?”	David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!”
6	So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before Yahweh, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.	So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the LORD, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away.	So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the LORD and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.
