6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.
And Solomon made all the vessels that were [in] the house of Jehovah: the golden altar; and the table of gold, whereon was the shewbread;
And thou shalt make a table of acacia-wood, two cubits the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make upon it a border of gold round about.
and they burn to Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the loaves also are set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for *we* keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but *ye* have forsaken him.

And he made the table of acacia-wood; two cubits the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made upon it a border of gold round about. And he made for it a margin of a hand-breadth round about; and made a border of gold for the margin thereof round about. And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were on the four feet thereof. Close to the margin were the rings, as receptacles of the staves to carry the table. And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. And he made the utensils that were on the table, the dishes thereof, and the cups thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the goblets with which to pour out, of pure gold.
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil, and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
