He placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle. The lampstand is installed on the south side — opposite the table on the north — exactly as Exodus 26:35 specified. The lampstand faces the table: the light of the lampstand shines on the bread of the Presence. The covenant light illuminates the covenant meal; the seven lamps cast their light on the twelve loaves. Light and fellowship, worship and presence, are inseparable.
