     # Col 1:27|
       Nothing but the ark of the covenant, with the mercy-seat, was
       put within the most holy place; but without the vail this
       "table of {shittim} wood" was fixed, of the same height as
       the ark, but neither so long nor so broad.  It was made of
       the same materials as the ark, and with a golden cornice; but
       it had also another cornice below the edge, and one at the
       bottom, with a border between the two of a hand breadth;
       though some think one border only was below the edge, and
       that this was towards the bottom, to keep the feet or legs
       more closely united.  The table also had rings and staves for
       the convenience of removing it.  To it were annexed several
       vessels; as dishes, in which some think the shewbread was
       placed; or, according to others, the flour of which it was
       made, or the oil used for various purposes; spoons, which
       were employed about the incense offered on the golden altar,
       or carried within the vail in a censer on the day of
       atonement.  Some have supposed the word to denote vials, as
       we read of vials full of odours and incense (Rev 5:3):
       covers, which seem to have been put over both the loaves and
       the incense, yet some suppose they were vessels used in
       drink-offerings; but that is more reasonably considered as
       the use of the bowls.
