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 Make a frame three inches high that stands up all around the edge, and put a gold strip around it.
26 Then make four gold rings. Attach them to the four corners of the table where the four legs are.
27 Put the rings close to the frame around the top of the table, because they will hold the poles for carrying it.
28 Make the poles out of acacia wood, cover them with gold, and carry the table with these poles.
29 Make the plates and bowls for the table, as well as the jars and cups, out of pure gold. They will be used for pouring out the drink offerings.
