Context of Exodus 37:14

12He decorated it with a 3-inch border all around, and he ran a gold molding along the border. 13Then he cast four gold rings for the table and attached them at the four corners next to the four legs.

• 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.
