Study note
Setting — God addresses Moses, continuing a divine inventory of sacred furnishings to be constructed for the Tent of Meeting.
The words — The Hebrew terms שׁלחן (shulchan) and מנורה (menorah) literally designate the table and the lampstand, respectively.
The thread — The table and altar of incense reappear in Exodus 25:23, 30:1, and 37:10, where their construction details are recorded.
Why it lands — The text lists specific sacred objects without elaboration, requiring the reader to track their precise placement and use within the tabernacle instructions.
