25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
25 And you shall make a rim around it a handbreadth
25 Make the border a handbreadth wide all around it and a rim of gold for the border.
25 You shall make for it a frame of a handbreadth all around, and you shall make a gold molding for the frame all around.
25 Decorate it with a 3-inch border all around, and run a gold molding along the border.

Commentary on Exodus 25:23-30
(Read Exodus 25:23-30)
A table was to be made of wood, overlaid with gold, to stand in the outer tabernacle, to be always furnished with the shew-bread. This table, with the articles on it, and its use, seems to typify the communion which the Lord holds with his redeemed people in his ordinances, the provisions of his house, the feasts they are favoured with. Also the food for their souls, which they always find when they hunger after it; and the delight he takes in their persons and services, as presented before him in Christ.
