23 (A)You shall also make a table of acacia wood, [a]two cubits [b]long and one cubit [c]wide, and one and a half cubits [d]high. 24 You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold (B)border around it. 25 And you shall make for it a rim of a [e]hand width around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. 26 You shall also make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four legs. 27 The rings shall be close to the rim, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that with them the table may be carried. 29 You shall also make its (C)dishes, its pans, its jars, and its libation bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30 And you shall set (D)the bread of the [f]Presence on the table before Me continually.
