A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Defining "the worldly tabernacle."

a tabernacle--"the tabernacle."

made--built and furnished.

the first--the anterior tabernacle.

candlestick . . . table--typifying light and life (Exo 25:31-39). The candlestick consisted of a shaft and six branches of gold, seven in all, the bowls made like almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch. It was carried in Vespasian's triumph, and the figure is to be seen on Titus' arch at Rome. The table of shittim wood, covered with gold, was for the showbread (Exo 25:23-30).

showbread--literally, "the setting forth of the loaves," that is, the loaves set forth: "the show of the bread" [ALFORD]. In the outer holy place: so the Eucharist continues until our entrance into the heavenly Holy of Holies (Co1 11:26).

which, &c.--"which (tabernacle) is called the holy place," as distinguished from "the Holy of Holies."

12 Unto whom [3739] it was revealed [601], that [3754] not [3756] unto themselves [1438], but [1161] unto us [2254] they did minister [1247] the things [846], which [3739] are [312] now [3568] reported [312] unto you [5213] by [1223] them that have preached the gospel [2097] unto you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] sent down [649] from [575] heaven [3772]; which things [3739] the angels [32] desire [1937] to look [3879] into [1519].
16 Let us [4334] therefore [3767] come [4334] boldly [3326] [3954] unto the throne [2362] of grace [5485], that [2443] we may obtain [2983] mercy [1656], and [2532] find [2147] grace [5485] to help [996] in [1519] time of need [2121].
25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316];
20 By a new [4372] and [2532] living [2198] way [3598], which [3739] he hath consecrated [1457] for us [2254], through [1223] the veil [2665], that is to say [5123], his [846] flesh [4561];
3 And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [2064] and [2532] stood [2476] at [1909] the altar [2379], having [2192] a golden [5552] censer [3031]; and [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] much [4183] incense [2368], that [2443] he should offer [1325] it with the prayers [4335] of all [3956] saints [40] upon [1909] the golden [5552] altar [2379] which [3588] was before [1799] the throne [2362].
4 And [2532] the smoke [2586] of the incense [2368], which came with the prayers [4335] of the saints [40], ascended up [305] before [1799] God [2316] out of [1537] the angel's [32] hand [5495].
20 The mystery [3466] of the seven [2033] stars [792] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] in [1909] my [3450] right hand [1188], and [2532] the seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087]. The seven [2033] stars [792] are [1526] the angels [32] of the seven [2033] churches [1577]: and [2532] the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] are [1526] the seven [2033] churches [1577].
12 And [2532] I turned [1994] to see [991] the voice [5456] that [3748] spake [2980] with [3326] me [1700]. And [2532] being turned [1994], I saw [1492] seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087];
13 And [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] one like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], clothed with a garment [1746] down to the foot [4158], and [2532] girt [4024] about [4314] the paps [3149] with a golden [5552] girdle [2223].
8 And let them make [06213] me a sanctuary [04720]; that I may dwell [07931] among [08432] them.
9 According to all that I shew [07200] thee, after the pattern [08403] of the tabernacle [04908], and the pattern [08403] of all the instruments [03627] thereof, even so shall ye make [06213] it.
23 It was therefore [3767] necessary [318] that the patterns [5262] of things [3303] in [1722] the heavens [3772] should be purified [2511] with these [5125]; but [1161] the heavenly things [2032] themselves [846] with better [2909] sacrifices [2378] than [3844] these [5025].
5 Who [3748] serve [3000] unto the example [5262] and [2532] shadow [4639] of heavenly things [2032], as [2531] Moses [3475] was admonished of God [5537] when he was about [3195] to make [2005] the tabernacle [4633]: for [1063], See [3708], saith he [5346], that thou make [4160] all things [3956] according to [2596] the pattern [5179] shewed [1166] to thee [4671] in [1722] the mount [3735].
12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] of God [2316], and [2532] cast out [1544] all them [3956] that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them that sold [4453] doves [4058],
33 And thou shalt hang up [05414] the vail [06532] under the taches [07165], that thou mayest bring [0935] in thither within [01004] the vail [06532] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715]: and the vail [06532] shall divide [0914] unto you between the holy [06944] place and the most [06944] holy [06944].
31 And thou shalt make [06213] a vail [06532] of blue [08504], and purple [0713], and scarlet [08144] [08438], and fine twined [07806] linen [08336] of cunning [02803] work [04639]: with cherubims [03742] shall it be made [06213]:
3 And [1161] after [3326] the second [1208] veil [2665], the tabernacle [4633] which [3588] is called [3004] the Holiest of all [39] [39];
30 And thou shalt set [05414] upon the table [07979] shewbread [03899] before [06440] me alway [08548].
2 A minister [3011] of the sanctuary [39], and [2532] of the true [228] tabernacle [4633], which [3739] the Lord [2962] pitched [4078], and [2532] not [3756] man [444].
23 Who [3739], when he came [3854], and [2532] had seen [1492] the grace [5485] of God [2316], was glad [5463], and [2532] exhorted [3870] them all [3956], that with purpose [4286] of heart [2588] they would cleave unto [4357] the Lord [2962].
26 How [4459] he went [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316] in the days [1909] of Abiathar [8] the high priest [749], and [2532] did eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to eat [5315] but for [1508] the priests [2409], and [2532] gave [1325] also [2532] to them which were [5607] with [4862] him [846]?
11 And they burn [06999] unto the LORD [03068] every morning [01242] and every evening [06153] burnt sacrifices [05930] and sweet [05561] incense [07004]: the shewbread [03899] [04635] also set they in order upon the pure [02889] table [07979]; and the candlestick [04501] of gold [02091] with the lamps [05216] thereof, to burn [01197] every evening [06153]: for we keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; but ye have forsaken [05800] him.
4 Behold, I build [01129] an house [01004] to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], to dedicate [06942] it to him, and to burn [06999] before [06440] him sweet [05561] incense [07004], and for the continual [08548] shewbread [04635], and for the burnt offerings [05930] morning [01242] and evening [06153], on the sabbaths [07676], and on the new moons [02320], and on the solemn feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. This is an ordinance for ever [05769] to Israel [03478].
13 The table [07979], and his staves [0905], and all his vessels [03627], and the shewbread [06440] [03899],
23 Thou shalt also make [06213] a table [07979] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] thereof.
24 And thou shalt overlay [06823] it with pure [02889] gold [02091], and make [06213] thereto a crown [02213] of gold [02091] round about [05439].
25 And thou shalt make [06213] unto it a border [04526] of an hand breadth [02948] round about [05439], and thou shalt make [06213] a golden [02091] crown [02213] to the border [04526] thereof round about [05439].
26 And thou shalt make [06213] for it four [0702] rings [02885] of gold [02091], and put [05414] the rings [02885] in the four [0702] corners [06285] that are on the four [0702] feet [07272] thereof.
27 Over against [05980] the border [04526] shall the rings [02885] be for places [01004] of the staves [0905] to bear [05375] the table [07979].
28 And thou shalt make [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlay [06823] them with gold [02091], that the table [07979] may be borne [05375] with them.
29 And thou shalt make [06213] the dishes [07086] thereof, and spoons [03709] thereof, and covers [07184] thereof, and bowls [04518] thereof, to cover [05258] withal [02004]: of pure [02889] gold [02091] shalt thou make [06213] them.
30 And thou shalt set [05414] upon the table [07979] shewbread [03899] before [06440] me alway [08548].
1 And the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me came again [07725], and waked [05782] me, as a man [0376] that is wakened [05782] out of his sleep [08142],
2 And said [0559] unto me, What seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], I have looked [07200], and behold a candlestick [04501] all of gold [02091], with a bowl [01531] upon the top [07218] of it, and his seven [07651] lamps [05216] thereon, and seven [07651] pipes [04166] to the seven [07651] lamps [05216], which are upon the top [07218] thereof:
3 And two [08147] olive trees [02132] by it, one [0259] upon the right [03225] side of the bowl [01543], and the other [0259] upon the left [08040] side thereof.
4 So I answered [06030] and spake [0559] to the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me, saying [0559], What are these, my lord [0113]?
5 Then the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me answered [06030] and said [0559] unto me, Knowest [03045] thou not what these be? And I said [0559], No, my lord [0113].
6 Then he answered [06030] and spake [0559] unto me, saying [0559], This is the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Zerubbabel [02216], saying [0559], Not by might [02428], nor by power [03581], but by my spirit [07307], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
7 Who art thou, O great [01419] mountain [02022]? before [06440] Zerubbabel [02216] thou shalt become a plain [04334]: and he shall bring forth [03318] the headstone [068] [07222] thereof with shoutings [08663], crying, Grace [02580], grace [02580] unto it.
8 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
9 The hands [03027] of Zerubbabel [02216] have laid the foundation [03245] of this house [01004]; his hands [03027] shall also finish [01214] it; and thou shalt know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me unto you.
10 For who hath despised [0936] the day [03117] of small things [06996]? for they shall rejoice [08055], and shall see [07200] the plummet [068] [0913] in the hand [03027] of Zerubbabel [02216] with those seven [07651]; they are the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], which run to and fro [07751] through the whole earth [0776].
11 Then answered [06030] I, and said [0559] unto him, What are these two [08147] olive trees [02132] upon the right [03225] side of the candlestick [04501] and upon the left [08040] side thereof?
12 And I answered [06030] again [08145], and said [0559] unto him, What be these two [08147] olive [02132] branches [07641] which through [03027] the two [08147] golden [02091] pipes [06804] empty [07324] the golden [02091] oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered [0559] me and said [0559], Knowest [03045] thou not what these be? And I said [0559], No, my lord [0113].
14 Then said [0559] he, These are the two [08147] anointed [03323] ones [01121], that stand [05975] by the Lord [0113] of the whole earth [0776].
31 And thou shalt make [06213] a candlestick [04501] of pure [02889] gold [02091]: of beaten work [04749] shall the candlestick [04501] be made [06213]: his shaft [03409], and his branches [07070], his bowls [01375], his knops [03730], and his flowers [06525], shall be of the same.
32 And six [08337] branches [07070] shall come [03318] out of the sides [06654] of it; three [07969] branches [07070] of the candlestick [04501] out of the one [0259] side [06654], and three [07969] branches [07070] of the candlestick [04501] out of the other [08145] side [06654]:
33 Three [07969] bowls [01375] made like unto almonds [08246], with a knop [03730] and a flower [06525] in one [0259] branch [07070]; and three [07969] bowls [01375] made like almonds [08246] in the other [0259] branch [07070], with a knop [03730] and a flower [06525]: so in the six [08337] branches [07070] that come [03318] out of the candlestick [04501].
34 And in the candlestick [04501] shall be four [0702] bowls [01375] made like unto almonds [08246], with their knops [03730] and their flowers [06525].
35 And there shall be a knop [03730] under two [08147] branches [07070] of the same, and a knop [03730] under two [08147] branches [07070] of the same, and a knop [03730] under two [08147] branches [07070] of the same, according to the six [08337] branches [07070] that proceed [03318] out of the candlestick [04501].
36 Their knops [03730] and their branches [07070] shall be of the same: all it shall be one [0259] beaten work [04749] of pure [02889] gold [02091].
37 And thou shalt make [06213] the seven [07651] lamps [05216] thereof: and they shall light [05927] the lamps [05216] thereof, that they may give light [0215] over against [05676] it [06440].
12 And [2532] I turned [1994] to see [991] the voice [5456] that [3748] spake [2980] with [3326] me [1700]. And [2532] being turned [1994], I saw [1492] seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087];
15 Neither [3761] do men light [2545] a candle [3088], and [2532] put [5087] it [846] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]; and [2532] it giveth light [2989] unto all [3956] that are in [1722] the house [3614].
3 For [1063] this [3778] man was counted worthy [515] of more [4119] glory [1391] than [3844] Moses [3475], inasmuch as [2596] [3745] he who hath builded [2680] the house [3624] hath more [4119] honour [5092] than [2192] the house [846].
1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
