Gemara: It was taught: [They were told,] 'Be careful that you not touch the table or the candelabrum.' And our teacher [in the Mishnah], why did he not teach [regarding the] candelabrum? [Regarding] the table, it is written about it [that it must perform its function] 'constantly (Exodus 25:30)'; [whereas regarding] the candelabrum, it is not written about it 'constantly'.
