Summary

In this verse, we see the careful and detailed instructions given by God to Moses regarding the placement of the table for the Bread of the Presence in the tabernacle. The table was to be set in the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain, symbolizing the importance of fellowship and provision in the presence of God. This placement signified the sustenance and nourishment that God provides for His people, both physically and spiritually. It also foreshadows the ultimate provision of Jesus Christ as the Bread of Life, who sustains and nourishes believers for eternity.
