John Gill Commentary Exodus 40:22

"And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil." — Exodus 40:22 (ASV)

And he put the table in the tent of the congregation
In the holy place; for there the shewbread table, which is here meant, was put:

upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail ;
on the north side of the tabernacle, at a little distance from the walls, which were the curtains and boards, even in the holy place on the outside of the vail, which divided from the most holy place.
