upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail; on the north side of the tabernacle, at a little distance from the walls, which were the curtains and boards, even in the holy place on the outside of the vail, which divided from the most holy place.

The candlestick was placed upon the left side, opposite to the table, and the golden altar in front of the curtain, i.e., midway between the two sides, but near the curtain in front of the most holy place (see at Exo 30:6). After these things had been placed, the curtain was hung in the door of the dwelling.

Verses 22, 23:
The “table” is the “table of shewbread.” Twelve loaves of unleavened bread were placed regularly upon this table, one loaf for each of Israel’s twelve tribes. The table was on the right-hand side of the sanctuary on entering, as one faced the veil. For the significance of this table, see the comments on Ex 25:23-30.
