THE TABLE FOR BREAD
“You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high.
You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a border of gold around the top of it.
You shall make a rim of a hand width around it; you shall make a gold border for the rim around it.
You shall make four gold rings for it and fasten them at the four corners that are on the table’s four legs.
The rings shall be close against the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table.
You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.
You shall make its plates [for the showbread] and its cups [for incense] and its pitchers and bowls for sacrificial drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold.
You shall set the bread of the Presence (showbread) on the table before Me at all times. [Joh_6:58]
THE GOLDEN LAMPSTAND
“You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and its shaft shall be made of hammered work; its cups, its calyxes and its flowers shall be all of one piece with it.
Six branches shall come out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side [the shaft being the seventh branch].
Three cups shall be made like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and a flower on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms on the other branch with a calyx and a flower–so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand;
and in the [center shaft of the] lampstand [you shall make] four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and their flowers.
A calyx shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.
Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it shall be one piece of hammered work of pure gold.
Then you shall make the lamps [of the lampstand] seven in number [with one lamp at the top of the shaft]. The priests shall set up its seven lamps so that they will light the space in front of it.
Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold.
It shall be made from a talent (50-80 lbs.) of pure gold, including all these utensils.
See that you make them [exactly] after their pattern which was shown to you on the mountain. [Heb_8:5-6]

THE TABLE OF SHOWBREAD AND THE LAMPSTAND
The Table of the Showbread, or Presence-bread, held the twelve loaves, which represented the tribes of Israel. It was three feet long, one foot, six inches broad, and two feet, three inches high. The border or edging of gold around the top kept its contents from falling off. The loaves were changed each week, and when removed, were eaten only by the priests. See Mar_2:26. Surely the suggestion of this table, standing, as it did, immediately before the veil on the outer side, was intended to teach that the purity and devotion of Israel were as bread to God. He taketh pleasure in them that fear Him. We also feed with God on the beauty and glory of our Savior’s obedience unto death.
The candlestick, with its seven branches, cost $35,000, and is a type of Christ, the Light of the World, and of the people of God when illuminated by the Divine Fire and shining amid the darkness around. See Zec_4:2; Joh_8:12; Rev_1:13.
