Making the Table

10 He(A) constructed the table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.[a] 11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding all around it. 12 He made a three-inch[b] frame all around it and made a gold molding all around its frame. 13 He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs. 14 The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table. 15 He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 16 He also made the utensils that would be on the table out of pure gold: its plates and cups, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.

The Table(A)

10 They[a] made the table(B) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[b] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold(C) and made a gold molding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth[c] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings(D) were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
