Exodus 25:10-14

"They are to make an ark of acacia-wood three-and-three-quarters feet long, two-and-a-quarter feet wide and two-and-a-quarter feet high.

You are to overlay it with pure gold -overlay it both inside and outside -and put a molding of gold around the top of it.

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

Make poles of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.

Put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark; you will use them to carry the ark.
