Exodus 25:10-16

10“Have the people make an Ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

11Overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and run a molding of gold all around it.

12Cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two rings on each side.

13Make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

14Insert the poles into the rings at the sides of the Ark to carry it.

15These carrying poles must stay inside the rings; never remove them.

16When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you.
