Exodus 25:9
7 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
8 And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.
You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.
10 And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11 Overlay it with pure gold both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
