Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting
on Exodus 40:22-23
The table stands on the north side outside the veil, and Moses sets the bread on it. Leviticus 24:5-9 gives the arrangement, twelve cakes in two rows renewed every sabbath, one loaf for each tribe of Israel. The bread is set out in a room only the priests will see.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation,.... In the holy place; for there the shewbread table, which is here meant, was put: upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail; on the north side of the tabernacle, at a little distance from the walls, which were the curtains and boards, even in the holy place on the outside of the vail, which divided from the most holy place.
