If three ate at a table and did not utter one word of Torah there, it is as if they had partaken of meal offerings made to the dead, for it is said, "all the tables are filled with exercrable things without room [for aught else]" But if three have eaten at a table and uttered words of Torah there, it is as if they had eaten at the table of God, for it is said, "He said to me: This is the table which is before the countenance of God" -Chapters of the fathers by Samson Raphael Hirsch
Apply to Christian life: Three eat at a table and no word of Bible is mentioned? Then it is like they are eating offerings to the dead? Three eat and they speak about bible and KNOW what it says without improper interpretations, they are sharing in the goodness of God.
