(19) Another branch.—A right translation—an improvement on “the other branch” of Exodus 25:33. The meaning is that there was the same style of ornamentation in all the branches. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 37:1-29

CHAPTER XXXV.THE CONCLUSION.Exodus 35:1-35 - Exodus 40:1-38.The remainder of the narrative sets forth in terms almost identical with the directions already given, the manner in which the Divine injunctions were obeyed. The people, purified in heart by danger, chastisement and shame, brought much more than was required. A quarter of a million would poorly represent the value of the shrine in which, at the last, Moses and Aaron approached their God, while the cloud covered the tent and the glory... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 37:1-29

THE TABLE OF SHOWBREAD (vs.10-16) The table was used for bearing the twelve loves of showbread, thus speaking of Christ as the Sustainer of fellowship among all His people. This was placed on the right side of the outer holy place, as one entered. Acacia wood again pictures Christ's humanity, while the gold covering implies His deity. Its two cubits length speaks of fellowship being a witness, and its one cubit width indicates the unity of believing fellowship. Its height of one and a half... read more

THE TABERNACLE ERECTED The closing chapters detail the execution of the plan of the Tabernacle previously revealed. In the first we are told of the offerings the people made for the work, in the next four the progress of the building is recorded, and the last we have the completion and acceptance of the whole on God’s part. NOTE (1) that an important principle in the gifts was the willingness of those who gave (Exodus 35:5 ); (2) the women contributed as well as the men (Exodus 35:22 ); (3)... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 37:17-24

Was not this candlestick an emblem of the light of the Holy Ghost, and of his sacred word? Hath not the church been enlightened with the illuminations of the Spirit, in all ages? Revelation 2:7; Revelation 2:7 ; Psalms 119:105 . And are not the branches of the candlestick meant to show that the supply of believers is from Christ?. Zechariah 4:2-3 . But Reader! Do not forget that after all, a candlestick is but a faint light. Divine communications in this world are but as the light of a candle.... read more
