1 Sam. 2:15‑17• 15Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

Ezek. 41:22• 22The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord. (Ezek. 41:22)

1 Cor. 11:21‑22,27‑32• 21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
 22What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

• It should be noted that the altar and the table of the Lord, in this scripture, are one and the same thing. The altar is thus denominated because the sacrifices were termed, as also Christ whom these typified, God’s bread. (See Lev. 21:6,8,17,21-22; Num. 28:2; John 6:33.) Hence the priests here are charged with offering polluted bread upon God’s altar in proof that they despised Jehovah’s name; for in so doing they plainly showed that they had lost all conception of the holiness of Him to whom they professed to sacrifice. (“Malachi 1” by E. Dennett)
