About this Chapter

Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. The ark was made of acacia wood, a durable and long-lasting material. It was a rectangular box with specific dimensions: two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. The ark of the covenant was an important symbol of God's presence among the Israelites. It contained the tablets of the Ten Commandments and represented the covenant between God and His people. The careful construction of the ark using high-quality materials shows the reverence and importance placed on this sacred object.
