10 They made the table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high. 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

The table was the place where the show bread would be placed. Also probably there could have been some drink offering which the priests would serve. This bread symbolised God fellowshipping with His people. It would be replaced regularly and would be part of the food offered to the priests. Remember the time David was in flight from Saul, he asked for and ate the show bread offered to him by the priests. The table’s was constructed using acacia overlayed with gold…the picture of fallibility overlayed with righteousness. The picture of our fallen nature redeemed and covered by the blood of Christ.
