Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al hashulchan hatahor {עַ֛ל הַשֻּׁלְחָ֥ן הַטָּהֹ֖ר | ʿal ha-šul-kḥān ha-tā-hōr} ‘on the pure table’ highlights the consecrated surface, and lifnei YHWH {לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה | lif-nē Yə-hō-wāh} ‘before the LORD’ locates the display in the sanctuary. Hebrew’s numeric constructs and distributive particles create precise ritual directives, which the English translation reflects through imperative phrasing and clear spatial language.
