3. The tabernacle furnishings 25:10-40One writer identified three major problems the interpreter faces as he or she seeks to understand God’s revelation concerning the tabernacle. [Note: Davis, pp. 246-51.] 1. What was the length of the cubit, the standard measure of length? This is a problem because various nations had different lengths for their cubits. A cubit was usually the distance between the elbow and the middle fingertip. The length ranged from about 17 inches to 21 inches, but there... read more

The Vessels of the SanctuaryChapters 25-31 are taken up with prescriptions regarding the Construction of a Tabernacle, i.e. a tent, to form the visible dwelling-place of Jehovah in the midst of His people, the place where He would meet them and receive their worship.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 25:23-30

THE TABLE OF SHEWBREAD.(23-30) Thou shalt also make a table.—The ark and mercy seat, which covered it, constituted the entire furniture of the inner sanctuary, or “Holy of Holies” (Exodus 40:20-21). When this had been shown to Moses the next thing to be done was to set before him the furniture of the outer sanctuary, or holy place. This consisted of three articles—(1) The table of shewbread, described in the present passage; (2) the golden candlestick, described in Exodus 25:31-40; and (3) the... read more

CHAPTER XXV.THE SHRINE AND ITS FURNITURE.Exodus 25:1-40The first direction given to Moses on the mountain is to prepare for the making of a tabernacle wherein God may dwell with man.
