Spoons

A golden table held bread before God at all times, and the spoons belonged to it. “Of pure gold shalt thou make them,” Moses is told about the dishes, spoons, covers and bowls (Exodus 25:29). When Israel travelled, these were laid on a blue cloth with “the continual bread” (Numbers 4:7). Solomon’s temple later has spoons of gold as well (1 Kings 7:50). These are not the spoons of a kitchen; they are part of the worship furniture, made with the same care as everything around them. Read Exodus 25:23-30 for the table.
