How does Christ's humanity relate to the table of showbread?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's humanity is symbolized by the wood of the table, representing His incarnation and perfect sacrifice.

The table of showbread is constructed of shittim wood, which symbolizes Christ's humanity that did not see corruption. This wood represents Christ's incarnation, where the divine Word became flesh to redeem humanity. In His human form, He bore the sins of His people, allowing Him to serve as the perfect priest, bridging the gap between God and man. His physical presence at the table of showbread continually signifies His readiness to nourish and sustain His elect.
