Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. The gold overlay and gold molding of the table — exactly as Exodus 25:24 specified — gives the table the same treatment as the ark. The table for covenant fellowship and the chest for covenant law are both gold-overlaid: both are equally sacred, equally worthy of the most precious material. The equality of the gold treatment communicates the equality of their functions: law and fellowship are both most precious.
