Context of Exodus 37:27

25Bezalel used acacia wood to make the altar for incense. It was square, 45 centimetres long, 45 centimetres wide and 90 centimetres high. The altar's horns were part of it, made from one piece of wood. 26He covered all the altar with gold: its top, its sides and the horns. He built up an edge of gold around the four sides. He made two gold rings for the altar. He fixed them below the gold edge, on two opposite sides. They would hold the poles to carry the altar. 28He used acacia wood to make the poles and he covered them with gold. 29He also made the special oil that would make things holy. He also made the incense with a sweet smell, like perfume.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-29It says that Bezalel made the ark of the covenant and all the furnishings, as well as the courtyard and its furnishings (37:1, 10, 17, 25; 38:1, 8, 9, 18). But this probably means he was in charge and guided the other craftsmen and seamstresses.Read the comment
