The table with its poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence. The table for the bread of the Presence — the covenant meal maintained perpetually before God — is the second piece of Holy Place furniture. The articles accompanying the table are included in the commission, and the bread itself is mentioned: the community that builds the table also bakes the bread that will sit on it. The maintenance of the covenant meal requires both the craftsmen who build the furniture and the priests who tend it. Both forms of service contribute to the continuous covenant fellowship.
