the table with its poles
The table referred to here is the Table of Showbread, which was located in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle. It was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold, signifying its sacred purpose and the divine presence. The poles were used for carrying the table, as the Israelites were a nomadic people during their wilderness journey. This design ensured that the table could be transported without being touched directly, maintaining its sanctity. The use of acacia wood, a durable and resistant material, symbolizes the enduring nature of God's covenant with His people.

all its utensils
The utensils included dishes, pans, bowls, and pitchers, all made of pure gold. These items were used in the service of the Table of Showbread, emphasizing the importance of purity and holiness in worship. The gold signifies the value and preciousness of the offerings made to God. The detailed instructions for these utensils highlight the order and precision required in worship, reflecting God's nature as a God of order.

and the Bread of the Presence
The Bread of the Presence, also known as Showbread, consisted of twelve loaves representing the twelve tribes of Israel. It was placed on the table as a continual offering before the Lord, symbolizing God's provision and the covenant relationship between God and His people. The bread was replaced every Sabbath, and the old loaves were consumed by the priests, signifying the sustenance provided by God. This bread foreshadows Jesus Christ, who declared Himself the "Bread of Life" (John 6:35), indicating that He is the spiritual sustenance for believers. The presence of the bread in the Holy Place also points to the constant presence of God among His people.
