Acacia wood, known for its durability and resistance to decay, symbolizes the incorruptible nature of Christ. The use of acacia wood in the construction of the Tabernacle's furnishings highlights the importance of purity and endurance in worship. This table was used to hold the bread of the Presence, which represents God's provision and fellowship with His people. The choice of acacia wood also reflects the resources available in the Sinai region, where the Israelites were encamped.<p><b>two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high</b><br>The dimensions of the table are specific and intentional, reflecting God's precise instructions for worship. A cubit is generally considered to be about 18 inches, making the table approximately 3 feet long, 1.5 feet wide, and 2.25 feet high. These measurements indicate a modest size, suitable for the intimate setting of the Tabernacle. The table's proportions suggest balance and order, which are key themes in the design of the Tabernacle. The table's size also allowed it to be portable, aligning with the Israelites' nomadic lifestyle during their wilderness journey. The precision in these dimensions underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands, as seen throughout the construction of the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/bezalel.htm">Bezalel</a></b><br>The skilled craftsman chosen by God to construct the Tabernacle and its furnishings, including the table of acacia wood.
