Contextual Overview

1 And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high; 2 Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it. 3 And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other, 4 And rods of the same wood plated with gold. 5 These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it. 6 And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 7 And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover; 8 Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover. 9 And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.
