her 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.

her extended table
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֻׁלְחָן derives from the root שלח in the sense of something stretched out or extended, hence a table as a spread surface. The construct singular form with 3rd feminine singular suffix is preserved as "her," yielding "her extended table." |
