Exodus 37:3 — Meaning and Application

And Bezaleel made the ark {of} shittim wood: two cubits and a half {was} the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

And he cast for it four rings of gold, {to be set} by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

And he made staves {of} shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
