23-30 A table was to be made of wood, overlaid with gold, to stand in the outer tabernacle, to be always furnished with the shew-bread. This table, with the articles on it, and its use, seems to typify the communion which the Lord holds with his redeemed people in his ordinances, the provisions of his house, the feasts they are favoured with. Also the food for their souls, which they always find when they hunger after it; and the delight he takes in their persons and services, as presented before him in Christ....

Verse Exodus 25:29. _THE DISHES THEREOF_]_ _קערתיו_ _kearothaiv, probably the deep bowls in which they kneaded the mass out of which they made the _shew-bread_. _AND SPOONS THEREOF_]_ _כפתיו_ _cappothaiu, probably _censers_, on which they put up the incense; as seems pretty evident from Numbers 7:14, Numbers 7:20, Numbers 7:26, Numbers 7:32, Numbers 7:38,...

(Compare Exodus 37:10.) The table and the candlestick figured on the Arch of Titus at Rome are those of the Maccabaean times, but made as nearly as possible after the ancient models reproduced under the direction of Solomon and Zerubbabel. The details and size of the figure, and the description of Josephus, appear to agree very nearly with the directions here given to Moses, and to illustrate them in several particulars. Josephus says that the table was like the so-called Delphic tables, richly ornamented pieces of furniture in use amongst the Romans, which were sometimes, if not always, covered with gold or silver. Exodus 25:24 See Exodus 25:11 note. The m

EXPOSITION THE TABLE OF SHEW-BREAD. From the description of the ark, which constituted the sole furniture of the most holy place, God proceeded to describe the furniture of the holy place, or body of the tabernacle, which was to consist of three objects— 1. A table, called the table of shew-bread ("bread of presence" or "bread of setting-forth"). 2. A candelabrum, or lamp-stand; and 3. An altar for the offering of incense. Of these the table seems to have been regarded as of primary importance; and its description is therefore made to follow immediately on that of the ark. It was of acacia wood, overlaid with pure gold, and was of the most ordinary shape—oblong-square, _i.e; _with four legs, one at each corner. The only peculiar features of the table, besides its mater

AND THOU SHALL MAKE THE DISHES THEREOF,.... On which the shewbread loaves were set. Jarchi says they were of the form of the bread, and that there were two sorts, one of gold, and one of iron; in the iron one the bread was baked, and when they took it out of the oven, they put it into the golden one until the morrow of the sabbath, when they set it in order upon the table; and that form is called "Kaarah", which we render a dish: AND THE SPOONS THEREOF; or rather "cups"; these, Jarchi says, were censers, in which they put the frankincense; and there were two of them for the two handfuls of frankincense, which they put upon the two rows of shewbread, Leviticus 24:7. Josephus x calls them vials, and says, that on the bread were put two golden vials full of frankincense: AND THE COVERS THEREOF, AND THE BOWLS THEREOF, TO COVER WITHAL; the one to cover th

3. THE TABERNACLE AND THE PRIESTHOOD CHAPTER 25 The Tabernacle _ 1. The freewill offering and the materials (Exodus 25:1)_ 2. The ark (Exodus 25:10) 3. The table of showbread (Exodus 25:23) 4. The golden candlestick (Exodus 25:31) This is another intensely interesting portion of this great book. To give a few annotations and hints on the tabernacle is an extremely difficult task, for there is such a wonderful mine of wealth here that a book of hundreds of pages could not contain all. The tabernacle concerning which the Lord instructed Moses was the earthly place of worship of Israel; i

EXODUS 25:23 P. THE TABLE OF SHEWBREAD (_cf. Exodus 37:10_). It was an ancient custom to spread tables with food and drink as oblations to the gods, who were supposed to need food and drink (Leviticus 24:5 *). And the custom persisted long after men's ideas had changed, coming to be an acknowledgment of God's gift of daily bread. It may well typify the sympathetic share that the Creator and Preserver of all mankind takes in the creaturely needs and interests of His children. The table was of gilded wood, 3 × 1½ × 2¼ feet, with a gold rim or bead (Exodus 25:23 f.), strengthened by a 3-inch beaded frame round the legs ...
