Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
שֻׁלְחַ֥ן יְהוָ֖ה
table YHWH
Yahweh is speaking as if the altar on which the priests offered sacrifices to him were a table at which he ate food. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The altar of Yahweh”
1:7 defiled the sacrifices?: Ritual uncleanness or contamination disqualified an object or person from being in the ceremonies of worship to the Lord. The defilement in this case resulted from ignoring the laws concerning acceptable animal sacrifices (Lev 22:17-25; Deut 15:21).
