- To place the shew-bread there. It is observable, that the table in the sanctuary is mentioned rather than the altar of incense; perhaps intimating the change in the external institutions of Divine worship which should take place before the accomplishment of the prophecy. It is not easy to determine, whether any external regulations, with respect to Divine ordinances, answerable to these predictions, will be made among the converted Jews, when reinstated in their own land, or not. "The altarª of woodª [was] threeª cubitsª high,ª and the lengthª thereof twoª cubits;ª and the cornersª thereof, and the lengthª thereof, and the wallsª thereof, [were] of wood:ª and he saidª° unto¹ me, This¹ [is] the tableª that¹ [is] beforeª the LORD.ª" {Ezk 41:22} + "Ye offerª° pollutedª° breadª upon¹ mine altar;ª and ye say,ª° Wherein¹ have we pollutedª° thee? In that ye say,ª° The tableª of the LORDª [is] contemptible.ª°" {Mal 1:7} + "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}
