"Thou shalt also makeª° a tableª [of] shittimª wood:ª two cubitsª [shall be] the lengthª thereof, and a cubitª the breadthª thereof, and a cubitª and a halfª the heightª thereof. ... And thou shalt setª° upon¹ the tableª shewbreadª¹ beforeª me alway.ª" {Exd 25:23-30} + "¹ The table,ª and his staves,ª and all¹ his vessels,ª and the shewbread,ªª" {Exd 35:13} + "And thou shalt bring²° in¹¹ the table,ª and set in orderª°¹ the things that are to be set in orderª upon it; and thou shalt bring²° in¹¹ the candlestick,ª and lightª°¹ the lampsª thereof." {Exd 40:4} + "And he putª°¹ the tableª in the tentª of the congregation,ª upon¹ the sideª of the tabernacleª northward,ª withoutª¹ the vail.ª ... And he set²¹ the breadª in order²°¹ upon¹ it beforeª the LORD;ª as¹ the LORDª had commandedª°¹ Moses.ª" {Exd 40:22-23} + "And in the porchª of the gateª [were] twoª tablesª on this side,¹¹ and two¹ tablesª on that side,¹¹ to slayª° thereon¹ the burnt offeringª and the sin offeringª and the trespass offering.ª ... And the fourª tablesª [were] of hewnª stoneª for the burnt offering,ª of a¹ cubitª and an¹ halfª long,ª and a cubitª and an halfª broad,ª and oneª cubitª high:ª whereupon¹ also they laid²°¹¹ the instrumentsª wherewith¹ they slewª°¹ the burnt offeringª and the sacrifice.ª" {Ezk 40:39-42} + "But ye¹ have profanedª° it, in that ye say,ª° The tableª of the LORD²¹ [is] polluted;ª° and the fruitª thereof, [even] his meat,ª [is] contemptible.ª°" {Mal 1:12} + "Andª the¹ Wordª was madeª° flesh,ª andª dweltª° amongª us,ª (andª we beheldª° hisª glory,ª the gloryª asª of the only begottenª ofª the Father,)ª fullª of graceª andª truth.ª" {Jhn 1:14} + "Andª ofª hisª fulnessª have²° allª weª received,ª° andª graceª forª grace.ª" {Jhn 1:16} + "To whomª Godª wouldª° make knownª° whatª [is] the¹ richesª of the¹ gloryª of thisª mysteryª amongª the¹ Gentiles;ª whichª isª° Christª inª you,ª the¹ hopeª of glory:ª" {Col 1:27}; Nothing but the ark of the covenant, with the mercy-seat, was put within the most holy place; but without the vail this "table of shittim wood" was fixed, of the same height as the ark, but neither so long nor so broad. It was made of the same materials as the ark, and with a golden cornice; but it had also another cornice below the edge, and one at the bottom, with a border between the two of a hand breadth; though some think one border only was below the edge, and that this was towards the bottom, to keep the feet or legs more closely united. The table also had rings and staves for the convenience of removing it. To it were annexed several vessels; as dishes, in which some think the shewbread was placed; or, according to others, the flour of which it was made, or the oil used for various purposes; spoons, which were employed about the incense offered on the golden altar, or carried within the vail in a censer on the day of atonement. Some have supposed the word to denote vials, as we read of vials full of odours and incense ("Andª no manª inª heaven,ª norª inª earth,ª neitherª underª the¹ earth,ª was ableª° to openª° the¹ book,ª neitherª to lookª° thereon.ª" {Rev 5:3}): covers, which seem to have been put over both the loaves and the incense, yet some suppose they were vessels used in drink-offerings; but that is more reasonably considered as the use of the bowls.
