Context of Ezekiel 41:22

20Pictures of angels and palm trees were carved on the walls from the floor to the space above the door. 21The doorframes in the holy place were square. In front of the most holy place was something similar. There was a wooden altar, 5 feet high and 3½ feet wide. Its corners, its base, and its sides were made of wood. Then the man told me, “This is the table that is in the presence of the Lord.” 23The holy place and the most holy place had two doors. 24Each of the doors were double doors that swung open.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 22The only piece of furniture was a wooden altar, the table that stands in the Lord’s presence. This is likely where the priests daily placed the bread of the presence before the Lord (Exodus 25:30). Describing this table as an altar emphasizes the focus on sacrifice in Ezekiel’s temple.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2222. table ... before the Lord--the altar of incense (Eze 44:16). At it, not at the table of showbread, the priests daily ministered. It stood in front of the veil, and is therefore said to be "before the Lord." It is called a table, as being that at which the Lord will take delight in His people, as at a feast. Hence its dimensions are larger than that of old--three cubits high, two broad, instead of two and one.Read the comment
