Footnotes

  1. Exodus 25:24 tn “Gold” is an adverbial accusative of material.
  2. Exodus 25:25 sn There is some debate as to the meaning of מִסְגֶּרֶת (misgeret). This does not seem to be a natural part of the table and its legs.

  3. Exodus 25:26 tn Heb “give.”
  4. Exodus 25:26 tn Heb “which [are] to four of its feet.”
