Table of Showbread in the TabernacleBible World

Exodus 40:22

And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

The table of showbread was set inside the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil separating the holy place from the most holy. Its exact position was not incidental but part of the divinely ordered arrangement of all the tabernacle furniture. That order was intended to impress Israel with the majesty and holiness of God and with the purity He requires in those who serve Him. It was also intended to exhibit to the surrounding nations the character of God and the character He desires His people to possess.
