Exodus 25:26 - Exposition

The four corners that are on the four feet , is scarcely an intelligible expression. Pe'oth , the word translated "corners," means properly "ends;" and the direction seems to be, that the four rings should be affixed to the four "ends" of the table; those ends, namely, which are "at the four feet." It is a periphrasis, meaning no more than that they should be affixed to the feet, as Josephus tells us that they were. ( Ant. Jud. 3.6, § 6.)
