Exodus 40:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 40:4

And thou shall bring in the table
The table of shewbread, which was to be set in the holy place:

and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it;
besides the dishes, spoons, covers, and bowls, there were the twelve loaves of shewbread to be set in two rows:

and thou shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps
thereof;
which was to be brought and set in the same holy place with the shewbread table; and though the lamps were to be lighted by Aaron, the priest of the Lord, he being not yet consecrated, the office was performed by Moses.
