Exod.37
[1] 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:
[2] And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
But to this day nobody knows just what "shittim wood," is. And as an interesting aside, Moses anointed the Priest's ear with blood.
