Today is the 14th day of February.

Happy Saint Valentine's Day today.

It is great to be here with you once again coming from the Galilee.

We will be leaving the Galilee today,

but we did have a wonderful day yesterday in this region and around the Sea of Galilee.

We can talk about that more at the end.

We are here at the beginning.

So let's dive in. We'll obviously pick up where we left off yesterday.

And we will see that the things that got it instructed to be constructed, to be built, to be made, are being made.

Exodus, Chapter 37 and 38.

Bezzalau built a chest of a caesha wood 110 centimeters long, 66 centimeters wide, and 66 centimeters high.

He covered it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the top.

He made four gold rings and attached one of them to each of the four legs of the chest.

Then he made two poles of a caesha wood, covered them with gold, and put them through the rings so the chest could be carried by the poles.

The entire lid of the chest, which was made of pure gold, was the place of mercy.

On each of the two ends of the chest, he made a winged creature of hammered gold.

They faced each other and their wings covered the place of mercy.

Bezzalau built a table of a caesha wood, 88 centimeters long, 44 centimeters wide, and 66 centimeters high.

He covered it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it with a border, 75 millimeters thick.

He made four gold rings and attached one to each of the legs near the edging.

The poles for carrying the table were placed through these rings and were made of a caesha wood covered with gold.

Everything that was to be set on the table was made of pure gold.
