Exodus 37:14

Study note

Setting — The artisan is finalizing the structural details of the sacred table during the tabernacle's assembly, following the casting of the corner rings and preceding the crafting of the carrying poles.

The words — הַ/טַּבָּעֹ֑ת (ha./ta.ba.'Ot) = the rings and בָּתִּים֙ (ba.Tim) = holders.

The thread — This ring-and-pole carrying system is first commanded in Exodus 25:12-15 and later assigned to the Kohathites for transport in Numbers 4:7.

Why it lands — The text specifies that the rings were positioned near the rim to function as sockets for the poles, establishing a practical constraint on how the furniture must be handled during transit.
