Exodus 37:2
Verse 2 of 29. The 37th of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.
1And 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:
2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

Matthew Henry on Exodus 37:2
It may be thought strange that Moses, when he had recorded so fully the instructions given him upon the mount for the making of all these things, should here record as particularly the making of them, when it might have sufficed only to have said, in a few words, that each of these things was made exactly according to the directions before recited.
