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
close to the rim
The rings sit close to the rim, as 25:27 orders. Solomon later made ten tables for the temple and placed five on the south side and five on the north, by 2 Chronicles 4:8.
