Translations generally agree on the meaning of עֻמָּה as 'close to.' The BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE all convey this proximity in their renderings.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תִּהְיֶ֖יןָ (they will become) governs the whole clause, indicating what the rings are to be in relation to the rim. The structure emphasizes the relationship between the rings and their functional purpose.
The sentence is constructed with a series of prepositional phrases that clarify the spatial relationship of the rings to the table, highlighting the importance of their placement.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Over against the border shall the rings be.—Rather, opposite the band, or framing. The meaning is not very clear. If the framing had been at the bottom of the legs, we might have understood that the rings were attached to the table opposite the places where the “framing” was inserted into the legs. But the “framing” appears to have been halfway up the legs (see Note on Exodus 25:25), while the rings were at the bottom. They could therefore have only been “opposite the framing” in a loose and vague sense. For places of the staves.—Rather, for places for staves.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches seven of the nine words. However, the Samaritan Pentateuch differs in two words, using 'תהינה' (they will be) and 'טבעות' (rings) instead of the Masoretic terms. The Dead Sea Scrolls show some agreement but also contain supplied words, indicating damage to the text.

"Table" is derived from the Latin tabula, meaning primarily "a board," but with a great variety of other significances, of which "writing-tablet" is the most important for the Biblical use of "table." So in English "table" meant at first "any surface" and, in particular, "a surface for writing," and further specialization was needed before "table" became the name of the familiar article of furniture ("object with a horizontal surface"), a meaning not possessed by tabula in Latin. After this specialization "table" in the sense of "a surface for writing" was replaced in later English by the diminutive form "tablet." But "surface for writing" was still a common meaning of "table," and in this sense it represents luach (Ex 24:12, etc.), a word of uncertain origin, plax, "something flat" (
