This table was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold, signifying its sacred purpose and the divine provision of God. The utensils included dishes, pans, bowls, and pitchers, all crafted for the specific purpose of holding and presenting the bread. These items were also made of gold, emphasizing the holiness and purity required in worship.

The bread was replaced every Sabbath, and the old loaves were consumed by the priests, as described in <a href="/leviticus/24-5.htm">Leviticus 24:5-9</a>. This practice underscores the importance of fellowship and communion with God.
