Exodus 25:27 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 25:27

Over against the border
Or "under" it, as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions. Jarchi says the rings were fixed to the feet over against the top of the border:

shall the rings be for placing of the staves to bear the table;
into these rings staves were to be put, to carry the table from place to place, when it was necessary, as while they were in the wilderness, and before the tabernacle had a fixed settled place for it; for wherever the tabernacle was carried, the ark and the table were also: where the church of Christ is, there he is, and there are the word and ordinances; and which are sometimes moved from place to place, as from the land of Judea into the Gentile world, from the eastern part of the world to the more northern; and that by the ministers of the word, who bear the name, and carry the Gospel of Christ into the several parts of the world, as this table was bore by the Levites, ( Numbers 4:7 Numbers 4:8 Numbers 4:15 ) .

Exodus 25:27 In-Context

25 And you will make for it a handbreadth rim all around, and you will make a gold molding for its rim all around.
26 And you will make four gold rings for it, and you will put the rings on the four corners where its four {legs} [are].
27 The rings will be near the rim as {holders} for poles to carry the table.
28 And you will make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them [with] gold, and the table will be carried with them.
29 And you will make its plates and its ladles and its pitchers and its bowls with which [libations] will be poured; of pure gold you will make them.
