Context of Exodus 37:15

13He made four gold rings for the table. He fixed them to the four corners, one beside each leg of the table. 14The rings were near to the extra piece of wood. They would hold the poles to carry the table. He used acacia wood to make the poles and he covered them with gold. They would use the poles to carry the table. 16He used pure gold to make the things that would be on the table. He made plates, big spoons, jars and bowls. They would use those things to pour out drink offerings. 17Bezalel used one piece of pure gold to make the lampstand. He used a hammer to make it the right shape. He used the gold to make its base, its middle pole and the cups to hold the oil. The cups were like open flowers and closed flowers.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-291. Bezaleel made the ark--The description here given of the things within the sacred edifice is almost word for word the same as that contained in Ex 25:1-40.
