The table

10 They[a] made the table of acacia wood – two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[b] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold moulding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth[c] wide and put a gold moulding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table – its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
