<p>11:9- see on Acts 1:20.</p><p><em>And David said: Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumblingblock and a recompense unto them</em>- Whilst &quot;their table&quot; can refer to a materialistic enjoyment of the things of this life, we will later suggest that the Jew in view who have stumbled are those who had initially accepted Christ in the first century, and were now stumbling from the way. This is the theme of Hebrews, the letters of Peter and other New Testament material. Their table therefore would more likely refer to their attitude to a closed table, at which they forbad Gentile believers or any others whom they feared would lead them to guilt by association. It was and is this exclusive, superior attitude which causes legalists to stumble in a spiritual sense. it is their &quot;recompense&quot;, their reward in this life only. But their exclusivity becomes a snare and trap to them spiritually. This is the concern of Paul so often; that refusing to accept other believers will cause spiritual stumbling to the supposedly elite.&nbsp;</p>
