📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of God's detailed instructions to Moses for building the Tabernacle, the portable worship center for the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. The table being described is the Table of Showbread, which would hold twelve loaves representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Since the Israelites were nomadic at this time, all the sacred furniture needed to be portable with built-in carrying systems.
