The feeding of the 5,000 is described in Mat 14:13–21 and John 6:1–14, and of the 4,000 in Mat 15:32–39 and Mark 8:1–9. Later, when mentioning the numbers involved, Jesus asked, “How is it you do not understand?" (Mark 8:19-21 NKJV).

The frankincense on the bread is mentioned in Lev 24:7, with salt being mentioned in the Greek Septuagint.

The division of the showbread into 5 and 7 and sometimes only 4, is mentioned in Mishnah Yoma 17b-18a, https://halakhah.com/pdf/moed/Yoma.pdf pages 47-48.

The high priest representing the people is mentioned in Heb 5:1 NIV.
A multitude being represented by a 1,000 comes from Ps 91:7 NET.

In the temple, there are ten lampstands (2 Chr 4:7), the 7-branched Menorah (Exod 25:37), and the fiery bronze serpent (Num 21:8-9), which was in the temple until it was destroyed (2 Kgs 18:4; burning incense to it could imply that it was by the incense altar)

Jesus being hungry because there were no figs is mentioned in Matt 21:18-19.
