He made
This phrase indicates the craftsmanship and obedience of Bezalel, the artisan chosen by God to construct the Tabernacle's furnishings. The Hebrew root for "made" is עָשָׂה ('asah), which implies not just creation but also careful and skillful execution. This reflects the importance of following God's instructions precisely, as Bezalel was filled with the Spirit of God to perform this task (Exodus 31:3).

the table
The table referred to here is the Table of Showbread, a significant piece of furniture in the Tabernacle. It symbolizes God's provision and fellowship with His people. In the Hebrew context, the table (שֻׁלְחָן, shulchan) was not just a piece of furniture but a place of communion and sustenance, reflecting the spiritual nourishment God provides.

of acacia wood
Acacia wood, known for its durability and resistance to decay, was commonly used in the construction of the Tabernacle. The Hebrew term for acacia is שִׁטָּה (shittah). This choice of material signifies the enduring nature of God's covenant and the purity required in worship. Acacia wood's resilience is a metaphor for the eternal and unchanging nature of God's promises.

two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high
The specific dimensions of the table highlight the precision and orderliness of God's instructions. A cubit, approximately 18 inches or 45 centimeters, was a standard unit of measure in ancient times. The detailed measurements underscore the importance of adhering to God's design, reflecting His perfection and the need for exactness in worship. This precision also points to the meticulous care God takes in His relationship with His people, ensuring everything is in its rightful place.
