BIBLE QUIZ:

**********

(Old Testament – Exodus)

And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about. And thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. And thou shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. And thou shall put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

What was the size of the “ark of the covenant” in our measurements?

Clue = A Cubit is the distance from the elbow to the finger tip-- about 18 inches.
