Hesekiel 44:5

Study

       

5 och HERREN sade till mig: Du människobarn, akta på och se med dina ögon, och hör med dina öron allt vad jag nu talar med dig om alla stadgar angående HERRENS hus och om alla lagar som röra det; och giv akt på huru man går in i huset genom alla helgedomens utgångar.

Commentary

 

Table

  

Food and drink in the Bible represent the desire to be loving and the understanding of how to be loving, gifts that flow from the Lord and sustain life. Since a table is where we receive these gifts and make them a part of us, it follows that tables in the Bible represent receptacles of good things from the Lord, the places He can fill in our hearts and minds. In the contrary sense, tables can also represent receptacle of evil from hell; we can allow ourselves to be filled with those as well.
