Exodus 30:27 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 30:27

And the table, and all his vessels
The shewbread table, with all things appertaining to it, rings, staves, dishes, spoons, bowls all were anointed; which had respect to Christ, and the communion of his people with him, feeding on him, that food which endures for ever, whom God the Father has sealed and sanctified:

and the candlestick and his vessels;
an emblem of the church, and of the light of the word held forth in it, which being accompanied with the grace of the Spirit of God, is the savour of life unto life:

and the altar of incense;
on which the odours, the prayers of the saints, come up before God through the mediation of Christ.

Exodus 30:27 In-Context

25 And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer,
26 And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament,
27 And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense,
28 And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them.
29 And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified.
