10 They shall make an ark[a] of acacia wood. It is to be forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.[b] 11 Overlay it with pure gold. Overlay it on the inside and the outside, and make a gold border around it. 12 Cast four gold rings for it and place them next to its four feet. Two rings are for one side of it, and two rings for the other side.

Footnotes

  1. Exodus 25:10 An aron is a box or chest or even a coffin. The translation retains the traditional rendering ark. It is not the same Hebrew word that refers to Noah’s ark, which also was a box.
  2. Exodus 25:10 Measurements are based on a cubit of 18 inches.
