25 You are to make a surrounding frame[a] for it about three inches broad, and you are to make a surrounding border of gold for its frame. 26 You are to make four rings of gold for it and attach[b] the rings at the four corners where its four legs are.[c] 27 The rings are to be close to the frame to provide places[d] for the poles to carry the table.

- Exodus 25:25 sn There is some debate as to the meaning of מִסְגֶּרֶת (misgeret). This does not seem to be a natural part of the table and its legs. The drawing on the Arch of Titus shows two cross-stays in the space between the legs, about halfway up. It might have been nearer the top, but the drawing of the table of presence-bread from the arch shows it half-way up. This frame was then decorated with the molding as well.
- Exodus 25:26 tn Heb “give.”
- Exodus 25:26 tn Heb “which [are] to four of its feet.”
- Exodus 25:27 tn Heb “houses”; NAB, NASB “holders.”
