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.

Exodus 25:25 In-Context

23 Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and a half in height.

24 And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.

25 And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high; and over the same another little golden crown.

26 Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.

27 Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.
