Making the Ark

1 ^sBezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits¹ and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold for its ^tfour feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side.

3 So I made an ark ^oof acacia wood, and ^pcut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.

4 having the golden ^saltar of incense and ^tthe ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was ^ua golden urn holding the manna, and ^vAaron’s staff that budded, and ^wthe tablets of the covenant.
