Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;" — Hebrews 9:2-3 (ASV)
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; (Hebrews 9:2–3)
All this was by divine appointment; the form of the rooms, the style of the furniture, everything was ordained of God, and that not merely for ornament, but for purposes of instruction. As we shall see further on, the Holy Ghost intended a significance, a teaching, a meaning, about everything in the old tabernacle, whether it was a candlestick, or a table, or the shewbread.
