The Table

שמות כה ,כד : וְעָשִיתָ לּוֹ זֵּר זָהָב

Rashi states that the זר (crown) mentioned in verse 25 clarifies the word mentioned in verse 24 and there is other one crown.

The Sforno disagrees and interprets the verse literally that there are two crowns. The first crown is for the table itself whereas the second one is for the border or rim. This indicates the twofold responsibility of the King, domestic tranquility and national security.

Chazal (Yoma 27b) tell us that there were three crowns in the Mishkan: on the Ark, on the table, and on the golden Altar. The crown of the Altar represents the crown of the Kohanim; the crown of the Table represents the crown of the Law (שלחן ערוך); while the crown on the Ark represents the crown of Torah.
