Exodus 25:6-16

6 oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,
7 onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece.
8 And make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell in the midst of them,
9 according to all that I show you--the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its equipment--and so you will do.

Instructions for Making the Ark of the Covenant

10 "And they will make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits its length and a cubit and a half its width and a cubit and a half its height.
11 And you will overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside you will overlay it, and you will make on it a gold molding all around.
12 And you will cast for it four gold rings, and you will put [them] on its four feet, with two rings on its one side and two rings on its second side.
13 And you will make poles of acacia wood, and you will overlay them [with] gold.
14 And you will put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark with them.
15 In the rings of the ark will be the poles; they will not be removed from it.
16 And you will put into the ark the testimony that I will give to you.
