(Holy of Holies)
 Exodus 25:23-30 "You shall also make a table of acacia
wood; two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its width, and
a cubit and a half its height. And you shall overlay it with
pure gold, and make a moulding of gold all around.
You shall make for it a frame of a handbreadth all around,
and you shall make a gold moulding for the frame all
around. And you shall make for it four rings of gold,
and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four
legs. The rings shall be close to the frame, as holders for
the poles to bear the table. And you shall make the poles
of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table
may be carried with them. You shall make its dishes, its
pans, its pitchers, and its bowls for pouring. You shall
make them of pure gold. And you shall set the showbread
on the table before Me always."

Table of Shew-
bread

Shew-bread =
God’s Word, the
Bible
 Lev 24:6 – 12 cakes / 2 in each row = Double
meaning accomplished by stacking in two
rows of 6-2 sixes side by side=66.
 66 books of the bible & 12 tribes or spiritual
Israel of Rev 7.
Purpose
 The purpose of the golden table was to hold 12
cakes of bread made of fine flour. They were
placed there in two rows of six, each loaf
representing one of the tribes of Israel (Lev.
24:8).
 It was made of shittim wood/acacia. (why?)
Reasons for using Shittim wood
 The area in which the Israelites lived in had
acacia trees and this was the environment they
lived in
 Numbers33:49-AbelShittim-shadow of the
Shittim tree
 Judges 7:22-Bethshittah-house of the Shittim
tree
 Joel3:18
Heb2:6-8
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that
thou visitest him?

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set
him over the works of thy hands:

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left
nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
1. Represents Christ’s
Incarnation
 A symbol of Christ’s incarnation: “But we see Jesus, who was made a little
lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour;
that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
 In Hebrews, chapter 2, in Paul's discussion of the incarnation of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the reason the acacia tree was chosen by God as characteristic of the
environment of which the children of Israel lived.
 It illustrated the fact that when the Lord Jesus Christ became the sacrifice for
the sins of the world, He had to become exactly like the men for whom He died.
 Had He not done so, His salvation would have not been effective. He did not
take upon Him the nature of angels.
 He took upon Him the nature of man
 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted [that is, being tested] , he is
able to succour [that is, to come to the aid of] them that are tempted.(Heb2:8)
2. Shade In a Dry Land

 Acacia tree: not particularly attractive looking


tree BUT it provides excellent shade.
 Israels’ terrain is hot and borders on being a desert
thus the acacia groves bring much-needed shade
 Isaiah53:2-3 For he shall grow up before him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we
shall see him, there is no beauty that we should
desire him.
3. Represents the incorruptible Word of
God
 For all practical purposes it is indestructible.
 Wood in that area of the world was often destroyed by
worms that bored from within and caused the tree to die
and the wood to be destroyed, but the acacia tree had
the unusual characteristic of being impervious to these
worms.
 In was indestructible and incorruptible.
 “1Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever.”
4. The thorns Illustrate and
point to the suffering of Christ
 Acacia trees have thorns and remember-
 John 19:1-5 Christ wore a Crown of thorns
5.Pierced for Healing
 It had within it a sap which would flow only
when the tree was pierced at night.
 The gum that came forth from the pierced
acacia tree was used for medicinal
purposes.
 Isaiah 53:5- He was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities;the chastisement of our peace was
upon him;and with his stripes we are healed”
6. Diety limited by flesh
 Acacia wood overlain by gold…Divinity covering
humanity!
Why 2/10ths ephahs of flour for each
cake of the Shew-bread?
 Lev 5:11-13 But if you cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, you shall bring as
your offering for the sin that you have committed one-tenth of an ephah of choice
flour for a sin offering; you shall not put oil on it or lay frankincense on it, for it is a sin
offering. You shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall scoop up a handful of it as its
memorial portion, and turn this into smoke on the altar, with the offerings by fireto the
Lord; it is a sin offering
 Shewbread was made using 2/10ths of an Ephah per cake
 Lev 24:5-9 "And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it. Two-tenths of
an ephah shall be in each cake. You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on
the pure gold table before the LORD. And you shall put pure frankincense on
each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to
the LORD. Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken
from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. And it shall be for Aaron and his
sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of
the LORD made by fire, by a perpetual statute."
It was Unleavened
 It did not have any yeast-remember Christ’s words:
 Luke 12:1-….”beware ye of the Leaven of the
Pharisees which is hypocrisy”
 Leaven makes bread corruptible i.e. it rots!
 Don’t do things using human strength for things
that require faith in GOD.
 Righteousness by Faith; Pure faith preserves and
saves the sinner!-not dependent on miracles
Where was it placed and why??
 Placed on the Northern Wall of the Holy Place
 Exodus 26:35
 Why?: this is where Christ Sits in Heaven!
 Isaiah14:13 “I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation in the sides of the NORTH!”
 The Devil wants to replace Christ everywhere and
in everything.(from creation to your attention)
 Matt 6:11-our daily (tamid) bread
 John 6:35;48;51
 Shewbread eaten on the Sabbath whilst it was
still hot!
 Eat fresh bread, daily! On the Sabbath double
portion!
 Don’t let the Devil replace the Freshness of the
Saviour in your life!
