Numbers 4:7

4:7 “On the table of the presence they must spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the pitchers for pouring, and the Bread of the Presence must be on it continually.

Numbers 4:9

4:9 “They must take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand of the light, with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all its oil vessels, with which they service it.


sn The Hebrew actually has the “table of faces,” and this has been traditionally rendered “table of shewbread.”

tn The Greek has “violet” instead of blue. This is also the case in vv. 8, 10, and 14.
