Making the Table

10 (A)Then he made the table of acacia wood, two [a]cubits [b]long and a cubit [c]wide and one and a half cubits [d]high. 11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding for it all around. 12 He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around and made a gold molding for its rim all around. 13 He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. 14 Close to the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. 15 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16 He made the utensils which were on the table, its [e]dishes and its pans and its offering bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.
