“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:”
Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood — two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. Bezalel personally constructs the ark — the most sacred piece of furniture in the tabernacle. The dimensions match Exodus 25:10 exactly: 2.5 cubits long, 1.5 cubits wide, 1.5 cubits high. The specification has been given; the execution matches it precisely. Romans 3:25 says God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement — the ark that Bezalel constructs with its mercy seat is the spatial anticipation of the theological reality Paul announces.
