MEDITATION

Exodus 25:23-30

23 “You shall also make a table of acacia wood; two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.
24 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a moulding of gold all around.
25 You shall make for it a frame of a handbreadth all around, and you shall make a gold moulding for the frame all around.
26 And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that are at its four legs.
27 The rings shall be close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table.
28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.
