Ezekiel 44:16

44:16 They will enter my sanctuary, and approach my table to minister to me; they will keep my charge.

Isaiah 65:11

65:11 But as for you who abandon the Lord

and forget about worshiping at ¹  my holy mountain,

who prepare a feast for the god called ‘Fortune,’ ² 

and fill up wine jugs for the god called ‘Destiny’ ³  –

Malachi 1:7

1:7 You are offering improper sacrifices on my altar, yet you ask, ‘How have we offended you?’ By treating the table ⁴  of the Lord as if it is of no importance!

[65:11]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “forget.” The words “about worshiping at” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[65:11]  ² tn The Hebrew has לַגַּד (laggad, “for Gad”), the name of a pagan deity. See HALOT 176 s.v. II גַּד 2.

[65:11]  ³ tn The Hebrew has לַמְנִי (lamni, “for Meni”), the name of a pagan deity. See HALOT 602 s.v. מְגִי.

[1:7]  ⁴ sn The word table, here a synonym for “altar,” has overtones of covenant imagery in which a feast shared by the covenant partners was an important element (see Exod 24:11). It also draws attention to the analogy of sitting down at a common meal with the governor (v. 8).
