What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What is meant by the table and its utensils in Exodus 30:27?"
Answer
In Exodus 30:27 the table and its utensils refer to the showbread table and its associated accessories, which were part of the sanctuary. These items were consecrated with holy anointing oil to set them apart for worship use and to declare them “most holy.” Together with the lampstand and the incense altar, the table constituted the essential furnishings of the first compartment of the earthly sanctuary.
The Consecration of the Sanctuary and Its Utensils
»And you shall make a holy anointing oil from it, a mixture according to the art of the apothecary; it shall be a holy anointing oil. And you shall use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the incense altar and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand. And you shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.«
The Showbread Table in the First Compartment
»In the first compartment, also called the Holy Place, were the showbread table, the lampstand, and the incense altar. The showbread table stood on the north side. With its ornamental crown it was overlaid with pure gold. On this table the priests were to place twelve loaves each Sabbath, arranged in two stacks and sprinkled with incense.«
Utensils and Service at the Table
»Aaron and his sons covered the sanctuary... and all its vessels, which were the accessories of the altars, the table, and the lampstand, such as spoons, bowls, tongs, extinguishing pans, oil vessels, incense bowls, meat forks, shovels, basins, etc., and the sons of Kohath came to carry them.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
