What is the context?
Ten gold lampstands and ten tables are placed in groups on the south and north sides. The account also names gold bowls, the priests’ courtyard, and the large court with bronze-covered doors.
The Sea is placed at the southeast. These notices show the furnishings within an arranged complex rather than as isolated treasures without an assigned place.
The account states the number of tables and lampstands but does not explain every detail of how all of them are used on each day. Their abundance should not be turned into an invented daily schedule.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley relates the lampstands to the earlier prescribed form and suggests that each table may hold twelve loaves. His own tentative language matters: the number of loaves on every table is not stated here. The service and placement can be understood without treating that proposal as a fact or making ten an obligatory number for later worship spaces.
