Commentary for Exodus 40:22
Exodus 40:22 is part of the detailed instructions given by God to Moses for setting up the Tabernacle, which was the portable dwelling place for God among the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt. The verse specifically describes the placement of the table for the showbread (bread of the Presence) within the Tent of Meeting, also known as the Tabernacle.
Themes:
1. **Divine Presence**: The Tabernacle was central to Israel's worship and represented God's dwelling among His people.
2. **Holiness and Order**: The precise arrangement of the furniture within the Tabernacle emphasized the holiness of God and the importance of approaching Him in the manner He prescribed.
3. **Covenant Relationship**: The Tabernacle was a tangible sign of the covenant between God and Israel, with the showbread symbolizing God's provision and sustenance for His people.
4. **Priestly Duties**: The placement of the table and other items in the Tabernacle was part of the priestly duties, highlighting the role of the priests in mediating between God and the people.
Historical Context:
The book of Exodus recounts the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt under the leadership of Moses. After their deliverance, God gave Moses the Law, including the instructions for the construction and operation of the Tabernacle. Exodus 40 concludes the book with the completion of the Tabernacle and the glory of the Lord filling it, signifying God's acceptance of the structure and His readiness to guide Israel on their journey to the Promised Land. The meticulous setup of the Tabernacle, including the placement of the table as described in verse 40:22, was essential for the sanctuary to function as a place of worship and sacrifice according to God's instructions.
