And thou shall make staves of shittim wood Of the same, wood the ark was made of, see ( Exodus 25:5Exodus 25:10 ) and overlay them with gold; cover them with plates of gold, so that they appeared to be all of gold, the wood being not to be seen.
11
And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and you shall make upon it a molding of gold round about.
12
And you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13
You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
14
And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark by them.
15
The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.
