90_A table of fellowship Ex 25:23-30 “You shall make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 24 You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a molding of gold around it. 25 And you shall make a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and a molding of gold around the rim. 26 And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and fasten the rings to the four corners at its four legs. 27 Close to the frame the rings shall lie, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, and the table shall be carried with these. 29 And you shall make its plates and dishes for incense, and its flagons and bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30 And you shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before me regularly.

By the time the train arrived, they were no longer strangers but a close-knit group, bound by the fellowship of the table. This scene reminds us of what God intends for His people—a table of fellowship where unity, provision, and communion are found in His presence. Like the ark of the covenant, the table of shewbread was made of acacia wood covered with gold. Though smaller and narrower, it stood as high as the ark, signifying its importance. This table was not just a piece of furniture in the Tabernacle; it signified our relationship with God. Throughout Scripture, a table represents fellowship and communion. Man was created in the image of God, enjoying unbroken fellowship with Him in the Garden of Eden.
