Exodus 37:14
12 And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
13 He cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners at its four legs.
The rings were placed close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.
15 He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and overlaid them with gold.
16 He also made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates and dishes, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
