The Table

23 “You are to construct a table(A) of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.[a] 24 Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it. 25 Make a three-inch[b] frame all around it and make a gold molding for it all around its frame. 26 Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs. 27 The rings should be next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table can be carried by them. 29 You are also to make its plates(B) and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold. 30 Put the Bread of the Presence(C) on the table before me at all times.
