The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order in the Bible, suggesting the thoroughness of Solomon's preparations for worship. The tables were part of the furnishings of Solomon's Temple, which was a central place of worship for the Israelites and a symbol of God's presence among His people.<p><b>and placed them in the temple,</b><br>The temple referred to is Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, a magnificent structure that served as the primary place of worship for the Israelites. The placement of the tables within the temple signifies their importance in the rituals and ceremonies conducted there. The temple itself was a fulfillment of God's promise to David and a central location for the sacrificial system, which pointed forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.<p><b>five on the south side and five on the north.</b><br>The arrangement of the tables, five on each side, reflects a balance and symmetry that is often seen in biblical descriptions of sacred spaces. This orderly placement may symbolize the order and harmony that God desires in worship. The north and south sides of the temple would have been significant in terms of accessibility and the flow of worship activities.<p><b>He also made a hundred gold bowls.</b><br>The gold bowls were likely used for holding incense or for the libations that accompanied the sacrifices. Gold, being a precious metal, signifies the value and purity required in worship. The number one hundred may indicate abundance and the readiness of the temple to accommodate the needs of the worshippers. Gold is often associated with divinity and kingship, pointing to the majesty of God and, typologically, to the kingship of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The king of Israel who commissioned the building of the temple in Jerusalem.

It is hard to explain this variation of statement. It is at least an arbitrary and forced explanation to suppose that ten tables constituted the furniture in question, while only one was used at a time. Keil and Bertheau think that the analogy of the ten candlesticks points to the existence of ten tables. The question, however, is, where is the call for, or where are the indications of any analogy? <span class="cmt_word">An hundred basins of gold</span>.
