Commentary
2 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
He also made the table of acacia wood
on Exodus 37:10-16
The table takes rings and staves like the ark, so every piece inside the holy place is built to be carried. Its bread waits until 40:23, where Moses sets it in order.
This site's exposition
a rim around it a handbreadth wide
The rim carries out 25:25, and it receives a gold molding of its own. The table therefore carried two moldings, one on the top and one on the rim. The rings of verse 14 sit close to this rim.
