Êxodo 37:10-16

A Mesa e seus Utensílios

10 Fez a mesa com madeira de acácia com noventa centímetros de comprimento, quarenta e cinco centímetros de largura e setenta centímetros de altura.
11 Revestiu-a de ouro puro e fez uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor.
12 Fez também ao seu redor uma borda com a largura de quatro dedos e uma moldura de ouro para essa borda.
13 Fundiu quatro argolas de ouro para a mesa e prendeu-as nos quatro cantos, onde estavam os seus quatro pés.
14 As argolas foram presas próximas da borda, para que sustentassem as varas usadas para carregar a mesa.
15 Fez as varas para carregar a mesa de madeira de acácia, revestidas de ouro.
16 E de ouro puro fez os utensílios para a mesa: seus pratos e recipientes para incenso, as tigelas e as bacias nas quais se derramam as ofertas de bebidas.[a]

Êxodo 37:10-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 37

This chapter continues the account of the making of the tabernacle, and the furniture of it, particularly the ark, mercy seat, and cherubim, Ex 37:1-9 the shewbread table, and what appertained to that, Ex 37:10-16 the candlestick, and all the vessels of it, Ex 37:17-24 and the altar of incense, together with the anointing oil, and pure incense, Ex 37:25-29.

because he gave his mind to this work more than the rest of the wise men, it is called by his name. It is a notion of some Jewish writers that the ark was made by Bezaleel, without the help of others; but there is no sufficient reason to be given for it; for other things are equally ascribed to him in this and the following chapter, as the mercy seat with the cherubim, the shewbread table, the candlestick of pure gold, the two altars, the laver of brass, with other things, which are only said to be made by him, because they were made by his direction, and he having the oversight of them while making; wherefore Aben Ezra observes, that this is particularly said for the glory of the ark. Of the ark, and all other things mentioned in this chapter, \\see Gill on "Ex 25:1"\\ &c. to end of chapter, \\see Gill on "Ex 30:1"\\ &c. to end of chapter. 10564-941108-1324-Ex37.2
