1 Then ^aBezalel made ^bthe ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.  ‡

2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it.

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it.

4 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

5 And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
