"Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you" Gal 3:1
It was to the North Side of the city, to Calvary, that Jesus was led to be slain. The table of showbread was in the north side of the Tabernacle.
The original for "showbread" throughout the New Testament is "artous tes protheseos" — "bread of setting forth." Paul uses the same word (Rm 3:25): "SET FORTH" "Jesus Christ, whom God had set forth (proetheto) to be a propitiation." And he uses the same thought (though not the same word) in Gal. 3:1— "Before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set f o r t h , crucified among you." Jerusalem is God's lightstand and altar in the earth—
the place of sending forth the Law, and the place of approach and reconciliation. So it is fitting that the table of showbread was on the north
side of the lightstand, and the sacrifice was slain on the north side of the altar.
