We say:
:?????????, ???? ???????? ????? ???????? ???????? ????????? ?????? ????? ???????? ??? ???????????? ??????
?????????, ???? ???????? ????? ??? ?????????? ????????? ?????? ??????? ?????????? ????? ??????????? ??????? ?????????? ??????????
?????????, ???? ???????? ??? (????? ??????) ?????? ???????? ?????, ????? (????? ????????) ???????? ???????? ?????, ?????? ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ????? ???? ?????? ?????…
Why do we give a ???????? to the ?????? and the ????????, then ask for ?????????? ????????? and then GO BACK and give a ???????? to the ?????? ?????????? ????????
Perhaps that they should be blessed now, and also fortunate enough to see Eliayahu HaNavi and receive renewed blessings in the time of Moshiach.
Blessed now (table, house)
That they are zoichim to see Eliyohu HaNavi
If not, then techiyos hameisim (thats why baal habayis after Eliyohu HaNavi)
Suggested answer:
There’s the ideological parallel of the ‘shulchan’ on which one ate and the ‘mizbeach’ of the beis hamikdash. The reference to Eliyahu HaNavi is a prayer to herald the coming of Moshiach which precedes the rebuilding of the beis hamikdash.
Then comes hakaras hatov to those who helped in providing us with the meal.
bluhbluh-
Great answer.
Alternatively, but along similar lines, I would suggest that perhaps the prayer for Moshiach is a sort of disclaimer on the prayer for the house, i.e. We want a big nice house but we’re not getting too settled because really we want Moshiach to come. Then we go to the next topic and pray for the welfare of those at the meal.
