God comes to dwell in Israel and fulfill His promise: “I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians”. He is building a house in the midst of His people after the pattern of the heavenly tabernacle shown to Moses on the mountain. Before the face of God in the holy place is a table set with bread and wine.
