1 Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its width a cubit and a half, and its height a cubit and a half.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around.
3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet, with 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 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.
6 He made the mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.
