This table was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold, symbolizing the divine provision and fellowship with God. Historically, the table held the Bread of the Presence, representing God's continual sustenance for the Israelites. The act of bringing in the table signifies the preparation for worship and the acknowledgment of God's provision.<p><b>and set out its arrangement</b><br />The phrase "set out its arrangement" refers to the careful placement of the twelve loaves of bread on the table, as described in <a href="/leviticus/24-5.htm">Leviticus 24:5-9</a>. The Hebrew word for "arrangement" is "עֲרָכָה" (arakah), which implies order and purpose. This meticulous arrangement symbolizes the orderliness of God's creation and His covenant with the twelve tribes of Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the importance of maintaining spiritual order in worship.<p><b>bring in the lampstand</b><br />The "lampstand," or "מְנוֹרָה" (menorah) in Hebrew, was a seven-branched candelabrum made of pure gold. It provided light within the Holy Place, symbolizing God's presence and guidance. The menorah's design, with its almond blossoms and branches, reflects the tree of life and the light of God's wisdom. Bringing in the lampstand emphasizes the need for divine illumination in the lives of believers, guiding them in truth and righteousness.<p><b>and set up its lamps</b><br />The act of setting up the lamps involves lighting them, ensuring they burn continually as commanded in <a href="/exodus/27-20.htm">Exodus 27:20-21</a>. The Hebrew word for "lamps" is "נֵרוֹת" (nerot), which signifies the light of God's presence. Historically, the priests were responsible for maintaining the lamps, symbolizing the believer's duty to keep the light of faith burning brightly. This action represents the perpetual nature of God's guidance and the believer's call to be a light in the world, reflecting God's glory and truth.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/40.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) <span class= "bld">The table.</span>--The "table of shewbread" is thus commonly designated.
