The Bread Table

HaShem told the Jews to make a shulchan, a wooden table covered completely in pure gold. It had a beautiful gold rim around the edge, and gold rings on the sides to hold gold-covered wood carrying poles.

On the table were special trays for the twelve loaves of lechem hapanim - the special bread that always remained on the table. Every week, the bread was replaced with new bread - but the "old" bread was always just as fresh and warm as when it first came out of the oven!
