Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 25:27

"Close by the border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table." — Exodus 25:27 (ASV)

Over against the border shall the rings be. —Rather, opposite the band, or framing. The meaning is not very clear. If the framing had been at the bottom of the legs, we might have understood that the rings were attached to the table opposite the places where the “framing” was inserted into the legs. But the “framing” appears to have been halfway up the legs (see Note on Exodus 25:25), while the rings were at the bottom. They could therefore have only been “opposite the framing” in a loose and vague sense.

For places of the staves. —Rather, for places for staves.
