Bezalel made . . .

Pea na‘e fa‘u ‘e Pesalili

'Ekisoto 37 (Exodus 37)

(v. 1) Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height

(v. 1) PEA na‘e fa‘u ‘e Pesalili ‘a e ‘A‘ake ‘aki ‘a e papa sitimi: ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ‘e ua mo e haafe, pea ko hono māukupu ko e kiupite ‘e taha mo e haafe, pea ko hono mā‘olunga ko e kiupite ‘e taha mo e haafe.

*Commentary:  David Guzik Study notes on Exodus´*

The pieces described in this chapter are those that will be inside the tent of the tabernacle: the ark (vv. 1-9) is the only piece in the Most Holy Place (26:34), which is separated by a veil from the table (37:10-16), the lampstand (w. 17-24), and the altar of incense (vv. 25-29) in the Holy Place (see 26:33-34; 40:3-5, 21-27).
