Commentary

1 note on this verse

This site's exposition

he made the table of shittim wood

on Exodus 37:10-16

The table takes rings and staves like the ark, so every piece inside the holy place is built to be carried. Its vessels are finished here in pure gold, the dishes and the spoons and the bowls and the covers. The bread the table is named for does not appear in this chapter at all, since 25:30 had ordered shewbread set before the LORD alway and Moses sets it in order at 40:23.
