Exodus 35:13 Summary
[Exodus 35:13 describes the table in the tabernacle, which held the Bread of the Presence, symbolizing God's presence and provision for His people, much like how Jesus is the bread of life for us today, as seen in John 6:35. The table and its utensils were carefully crafted to serve as a reminder of God's covenant with the Israelites. This verse teaches us about the importance of creating a sacred space to acknowledge and honor God's presence in our lives, just as the Israelites did in the tabernacle. By reflecting on this verse, we can learn to set apart time and space to focus on our relationship with God, just as the Israelites did with the table and the Bread of the Presence.]

The table and his staves, and all his vessels,.... The table of shewbread, and all things appertaining to it: and the shewbread; which is mentioned for the sake of the table, and to show what was
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 35:13
And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 35:13
But neither did God prescribe the making of the shewbread amongst the other utensils, Exodus 25, nor was this made by the workmen here spoken of, but by others. How then comes this to be mentioned here? Answ. 1. The shew-bread may be here put for the vessels for the receiving the shew-bread, by a usual metonymy of the adjunct, the thing contained put for the thing containing; as treasures are put for the place where the treasures are put, 12:35, and the gifts or offerings of God for the treasury where they were put, . Hence Tremellius renders this place, and the vessels of the shew-bread. Object. All the vessels of the table are mentioned before, of which this was one. Answ. It is not unusual after a general expression comprehending all distinctly to name one eminent member of that kind, such as this unquestionably was, the table being made principally for this use. Thus , Tell my disciples and Peter.
Like examples are in , and in other authors. And for the particle vau, and, which may seem to imply that these were things of another kind, and not any vessels of the table, that is oft put for especially, as , and so only notes an eminent thing of the same kind, as hath been said. Answ. 2. Though God did not prescribe the making of the shew-bread, yet he mentions it, together with the table, , and therefore it is conveniently mentioned with the table in this place also, where Moses, to show his exactness and fidelity, doth punctually repeat the same things to the people which he had received in command from God. In like manner the oil, which fed the light of the lamps, is mentioned here in the next verse, because the lighting of the lamps was prescribed, .
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 35:13
(10-19) And every wise hearted among you.—The first appeal is to all; all may contribute something towards the materials of the sacred structure. But the second appeal is to some only. The “wise-hearted” alone can take part in the actual construction, and “make all that the Lord hath commanded.” On the expression “wise – hearted,” see Note on Exodus 28:3. It includes skill of various kinds and degrees, even that of poor women, who “did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen” (Exodus 35:25). In enumerating the things to be constructed, Moses follows, not the order of the revelations made to him, but what may be called the natural order: first, the Tabernacle as a whole; then its various parts (Exodus 35:11); after this, its contents—those of the Holy of Holies (Exodus 35:12), of the Holy Place (Exodus 35:13-15), and of the Court (Exodus 35:16-18); finally, the dress to be worn by those who conducted the services (Exodus 35:19). On the Tabernacle and its parts, see Exodus 26:1-37; on the Ark, the staves, and the mercy-seat, Exodus 25:10-15; on the “veil of the covering,” Exodus 26:31; on the table and the candlestick, Exodus 25:23-30; on the incense altar, Exodus 30:1-10; on the anointing oil, Exodus 30:23-25; on the sweet incense, Exodus 30:34-35; on the hanging for the door, Exodus 26:36; on the altar of burnt offering, Exodus 27:1-8; on the laver and its foot, Exodus 30:17-21; on the hangings of the Court, its pillars, sockets, pins, &c., Exodus 27:9-19; and on “the cloths of service,” Exodus 28:2-42. (On the true meaning of the expression, “cloths of service,” see Note on Exodus 31:10.)

Verse 13. The table] See Exodus 25:23-28.
