Hebrews 9:2

A tent. The original setting up of the tent and the beginning of the Jewish worship which was to continue some 1,700 years (Exodus 40) is used for this contrast (rather than the temple worship). The outside one. The Holy Place, where the priests served daily. The lamp. This lamp had seven arms or branches which had cups for holding oil at their ends. Wicks were floated in the oil, and lighted. Here there is one lamp with seven lamps. In Revelation 1:12 there are seven lamp-stands. The table, on which were kept twelve loaves of bread offered to God, each loaf of which contained two-fifths of a bushel of flour. See Exodus 24:3-5.
