John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table, etc.] For though there were but one table for the shewbread in the tabernacle of Moses, there were ten in the temple of Solomon, (<140408>2 Chronicles 4:8) and each of them contained one hundred pounds in weight f135 : and likewise silver for the tables of silver; these were placed in the court, as Jarchi thinks, on which they flayed the sacrifices; or, as Kimchi, on which they slew them, and laid the flesh of the burnt offerings on them, which he gathers from (<264039>Ezekiel 40:39).”
