Ark 
A coffer or chest, overlaid with gold, the dimensions of which, taking the cubit at eighteen inches, are computed to be three feet nine inches in length, two feet three inches in breadth.
Crown 
The moulding or ornamental rim, which is thought to have been raised above the level of the table, to prevent anything from falling off.
Border 
Rather a framing, which reached from leg to leg so as to make the table firm, as well as to adorn it with a second moulding of gold. Two fragments of such framing are still seen in the sculpture attached to the legs halfway down.
  • Standard: One cubit = 18 in.
  • Eq: width is 2.5 cubits x 18 in. = 45 in.
  • Eq: depth is 1.5 cubits x 18 in. = 27 in.
  • Eq: height is 1.5 cubits x 18 in. = 27 in.
