Exodus 25:25 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 25:25

And thou shalt make unto it a border of art hand's breadth
round about
Jarchi says, their wise men are divided about this; some say it was above, round about the table; others say it was below, fixed from foot to foot at the four corners of the table, and the board of the table lay upon the border:

and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about;
this was not the same spoke of in the former verse, but another; that was above, and upon the table, this below and under it; or rather that was, as it may be better expressed, a lip, rim, or border, that went round within the table ^F21; and this crown, surrounded that on the edge of it.

23 "Make a table out of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.

24 Cover it with pure gold, and put a gold strip around it.

25 Make a frame three inches high that stands up all around the edge, and put a gold strip around it.
