The Hebrew word used here is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to do, fashion, or accomplish. This reflects the active participation required by the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God. It is a reminder that faith is not passive but involves action and dedication to God's instructions.<p><b>a rim around it</b><br />The "rim around it" refers to a border or edge that encircles the table of showbread. The Hebrew word "מִסְגֶּרֶת" (misgeret) suggests a framework or enclosure, symbolizing protection and separation. In a spiritual sense, this can be seen as a metaphor for the boundaries God sets for His people, providing both security and identity. It underscores the idea that God's commandments are designed to safeguard His people.<p><b>a handbreadth wide</b><br />The measurement "a handbreadth wide" is an ancient unit of measure, approximately four inches or the width of a hand. This specific dimension indicates precision and intentionality in God's design. It reflects the meticulous care God takes in His instructions, reminding believers that every detail in God's plan has purpose and significance. The handbreadth, being a human measure, also signifies the accessibility and relatability of God's instructions to His people.<p><b>and put a gold molding</b><br />The instruction to "put a gold molding" highlights the use of gold, a symbol of purity, divinity, and kingship. The Hebrew word "זָהָב" (zahav) for gold is often associated with holiness and the divine presence. The gold molding represents the glory and majesty of God, as well as the value and beauty of His dwelling place among His people. It serves as a reminder of the preciousness of God's covenant and the honor due to Him.<p><b>on the rim</b><br />The placement "on the rim" signifies the crowning or finishing touch on the table. The rim, being the outermost part, is what is most visible, symbolizing the outward expression of God's glory. This can be seen as an encouragement for believers to let their lives reflect God's beauty and holiness to the world. The rim, adorned with gold, serves as a testament to the splendor and sanctity of God's presence in the midst of His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/25.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(25) <span class= "bld">A border of a hand-breadth.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">a band, </span>or <span class= "ital">framing. </span>The representation of the table of shewbread on the Arch of Titus at Rome gives the best idea of this "band<span class= "ital">" </span>or framing.
