A Table of Communion
Commentators explain that the table was more than furniture; it symbolized God's desire for fellowship with His people. It represented the provisions of His house and the communion He holds with believers. Calvin notes it taught the Israelites that even their daily meals were sacred, as if they were guests at God's own table, a principle that points to the communion believers now have through Christ.
