שמות, פרק ל״ז, פסוק כ״ו

Crafting the sacred vessels required an uncompromising standard of beauty and uniformity. The design of this particular object involved covering it entirely in pure gold. Every surface was carefully plated, ensuring that the flat top, the surrounding walls, and the extending horns were all completely wrapped in the precious metal.

To finish the design, a decorative golden frame was added around its edge. This ornamental border served a broader visual purpose, linking the object to the shared architectural theme of the Tabernacle. By including this golden border, the craftsmen matched the design of other central and highly important items, such as the Ark and the Table, creating a harmonious and unified style among the most sacred pieces.
