25:23-30
Once again, we are given the dimensions of the table, and other details of how it is to be made, with gold featuring heavily. In Lev 24:6 we will read of the twelve flat cakes of bread being laid upon the table, this bread was to be eaten only by the priests. Though in 1 Sam 21:6 we read of David and his men eating the bread. The “bread of the presence” was to be laid before the Lord on a regular basis. We are not given much in the way of clues as to the significance of all this.
25:31-40
Next comes the golden lampstand. It is to be made of gold and we are given great detail on the form that it is to take. Once again, no clues are given as to its significance, though there are references to the lampstand elsewhere in scripture. Zech 4:2 has a vision of a golden lampstand. The number seven, signifying perfection, figures, and oil often represents God’s spirit. Rev 1:20 includes a vision of seven lampstands.
