Ark's Inside Dimensions
Based on the biblical descriptions and measurements provided in Exodus 25:10-22 and Exodus 37:1-9, as well as other relevant passages, here are the inside dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant:
Length: 2.5 cubits (approximately 3.75 feet or 114 cm)
Width: 1.5 cubits (approximately 2.25 feet or 69 cm)
Height: 1.5 cubits (approximately 2.25 feet or 69 cm)
Here is my guess at why he made the Ark.
The Ark, filled with gold would be worth approximately $900 Million.
How do I figure?
The gold Ark is a store of wealth (6 lbs of gold) that is worth about $230,000.
[ 87.5 x $2650 = $231,875 ]
What if the Ark were filled with gold?
(See internal dimensions calc below)
Assuming square bars and a tight fit, 334,395.8 troy ounces of gold would fit inside, which is worth another $886,148.870.
When gold reaches $3000 troy ounce the Ark filled with gold will be worth over $1 Billion.
Notes and Calculations:
[ Gold Density is 1206.83 lb/ft3 ]
[ 1206.83 lb/ft3 x 19ft3 = 22,930 lbs = 334395.8 troy ounces ]
