“For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.”
For a tent was prepared, the first section of which is called the Holy Place, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence — the outer tent contained the seven-branched menorah (providing light), the table of shewbread (twelve loaves representing the twelve tribes and God's covenant care), and the bread of the Presence (literally 'face bread,' maintained perpetually before the Lord). These furnishings symbolize God's continual illumination and sustenance of his people.
