table (for eating/serving); money-changer's table, bank
1. table (for eating/serving) — A table used for meals, banquets, or ceremonial dining, including the Lord's table and tables of fellowship. Singular and plural forms denote the same concept of a surface for serving or eating food. Multilingual evidence confirms the dining sense: Spanish 'mesa/mesas,' Arabic 'مَائِدَةِ/مَوَائِدَ,' Hindi 'मेज़/मेज़ें,' Korean '식탁/상,' Swahili 'meza.' Used both literally (dining furniture) and figuratively (table of the Lord, table of demons). 14×

2. money-changer's table, bank — A table used by money-changers for financial transactions, functioning as a counter or bank. This specialized commercial sense is clearly distinguished from the dining table across translations: Spanish 'banco' (bank), Arabic 'مائِدَةِ–الصَّيرَفي' (money-changer's table), Korean '은행에' (at the bank), Swahili 'benki' (bank). Hindi retains 'मेज़' but the broader multilingual pattern confirms a distinct financial/commercial sense rather than a dining surface. 1×
