Exodus 25:29

“And thou shall make the dishes thereof, etc.] On which the shewbread loaves were set. Jarchi says they were of the form of the bread, and that there were two sorts, one of gold, and one of iron; in the iron one the bread was baked, and when they took it out of the oven, they put it into the golden one until the morrow of the sabbath, when they set it in order upon the table; and that form is called “Kaarah”, which we render a dish: and the spoons thereof; or rather “cups”; these, Jarchi says, were censers, in which they put the frankincense; and there were two of them for the two handfuls of frankincense, which they put upon the two rows of shewbread, (<032407>Leviticus 24:7 <040714>Numbers…”

“dishes--broad platters. spoons--cups or concave vessels, used for holding incense. covers--both for bread and incense. bowls--cups; for though no mention is made of wine, libations were undoubtedly made to God, according to JOSEPHUS and the rabbins, once a week, when the bread was changed. to cover withal--rather, "to pour out withal."”

“(Compare Exodus 37:10-16.) The table and the candlestick figured on the Arch of Titus at Rome are those of the Maccabaean times, but made as nearly as possible after the ancient models reproduced under the direction of Solomon and Zerubbabel. The details and size of the figure, and the description of Josephus, appear to agree very nearly with the directions here given to Moses, and to illustrate them in several particulars. Josephus says that the table was like the so-called Delphic tables, richly ornamented pieces of furniture in use amongst the Romans, which were sometimes, if not always, covered with gold or silver. Exodus 25:24 See Exodus 25:11 note. The moulding of the table is still…”

“the: Exo 37:16; Num 4:7, Num 7:13, Num 7:19, Num 7:31-33; Kg1 7:50; Ch2 4:22; Ezr 1:9-11; Jer 52:18, Jer 52:19 to cover: or, to pour out, Lev 24:5-9; Sol 5:1; Rev 3:20 Exodus 25:30”

“Vessels of pure gold were also to be made, to stand upon the table (cf. Exo 37:16). קערת, τὰ τευβλία (lxx), large deep plates, in which the shew-bread was not only brought to the table, but placed upon it. These plates cannot have been small, for the silver קערת, presented by Nahshon the tribe prince, weighed 130 shekels ( Num 7:13). כּפּת, from כּף a hollow hand, small scoops, according to Num 7:14, only ten shekels in weight, used to put out the incense belonging to the shew-bread upon the table (cf. Lev 24:7 and Num 7:14): lxx θυΐ́σκη, i.e., according to the Etymol. Magn., σκάφη ἡ τὰ θύματα δεχομένη. There were also two vessels "to pour out," sc., the drink-offering, or libation…”
