A Tour of the Holy Place
This verse describes the first of the Tabernacle's two rooms, the "Holy Place." Commentators explain this was the area for regular priestly duties, containing the golden lampstand, the table, and the "shewbread" (or bread of presence). This description sets the stage for the contrast with the even more sacred room, the Most Holy Place, mentioned next.
