Continuing through the Holy place in the Tabernacle, and opposite the menorah was the table of shewbread. Built of acacia wood and overlaid with solid gold, the table had a surface of 3 x 1.5 feet (0.91m x 0.45m).
Twelve loaves of bread were placed on the table on Shabbat and were replaced by fresh bread the following Shabbat. The high priestly line would eat the replaced bread.
The table symbolise fellowship. It shows a gesture of friendship, as inviting a friend to share a meal. The table in the tabernacle shows God’s desire for fellowship with us.
