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.
