20From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple. 21The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before Yhwh. 23And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 24And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

- 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
