שֻׁלְחָנִ֑/י
𐤔𐤋𐤇𐤍/𐤉
shulchân
my table
A piece of furniture used for placing objects, especially food, functioning as a table. In most biblical contexts, שֻׁלְחָן refers to a surface or platform on which food is placed for eating, but the term is also used for special tables, such as those found in the sanctuary for ritual purposes. While the primary sense remains a table as a physical object, it can occasionally serve as a metonym for shared meals or hospitality, and in rare instances, for ritual service.
