"When God had brought the children of Israel out of Egypt," says the very learned Dr. Cudworth, "resolving to manifest himself in a peculiar manner present among them, he thought good to dwell amongst them in a visible and external manner; and therefore, while they were in the wilderness, and sojourned in tents, he would have a tent or tabernacle built, to sojourn with them also.--Now, the tabernacle being thus a house for God to dwell in visibly, to make up the notion of dwelling or habitation complete, there must be all things suitable to a house belonging to it. Hence, in the holy place, there must be a table and a candlestick, because these were the ordinary furniture of a room.

The candlestick must have its lamps continually burning, etc." Ex 25:8 Ex 36:8-19 Ex 40:2 Ex 40:17-19 1Ch 17:1 1Ch 21:29 Joh 1:14 Joh 2:21 Heb 8:2 Heb 9:9 Heb 9:23 Heb 9:24 Re 21:3
