Commentary
4 notes on this verseThe table and his staves, and all his vessels,.... The table of shewbread, and all things appertaining to it: and the shewbread; which is mentioned for the sake of the table, and to show what was intended, and the use of it; for otherwise the shewbread was not yet to be made, nor by the artificers here called together; and is to be interpreted of the dishes of the shewbread, in which it was put; and so Junius and Tremellius render it, the instruments or vessels of the shewbread; of these see Exo 25:23.
This site's exposition
Let every skilled craftsman among you come
on Exodus 35:10-14
The Hebrew behind skilled is the word for wisdom. It falls on the workmen at verse 10, the women at verse 25 and the two named masters at verse 35.
This site's exposition
the Bread of the Presence
The table is listed with the Bread of the Presence it was made to hold. John Gill notes that the bread was made later and by other hands, and he reads the phrase as the dishes that held it. Leviticus 24:5-9 orders twelve loaves set out each Sabbath.
