The "weight of gold" indicates the specific amount of gold to be used, emphasizing the importance of precision and excellence in worship. The table of showbread, also known as the table of the Presence, was a sacred piece of furniture in the Tabernacle and later the Temple, where twelve loaves of bread were placed as an offering to God, representing the twelve tribes of Israel (<a href="/exodus/25-23.htm">Exodus 25:23-30</a>). Gold, a symbol of purity and divinity, underscores the holiness of the Temple and its furnishings. This meticulous attention to detail reflects the reverence due to God and the significance of the Temple as a dwelling place for His presence. The use of gold also foreshadows the glory and majesty of Christ, who is the true Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>).<p><b>and of silver for the silver tables</b><br>Silver, often associated with redemption and purification, was used for other tables in the Temple. While gold was reserved for the most sacred items, silver was still a precious metal, indicating the value and importance of these tables. The use of silver in the Temple's construction highlights the theme of redemption, as silver was commonly used in the context of atonement and ransom (<a href="/exodus/30-11.htm">Exodus 30:11-16</a>). This can be seen as a type pointing to the redemptive work of Christ, who was betrayed for thirty pieces of silver (<a href="/matthew/26-15.htm">Matthew 26:15</a>) and whose sacrifice brings purification and redemption to believers. The careful allocation of materials for the Temple's furnishings reflects the order and intentionality in God's design for worship and His plan for salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The King of Israel who is giving instructions for the building of the temple.
