Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Ark of the Covenant, The Tabernacle, and The Temple
Exodus 37
The Ark
37 Bezalel made the ark of acacia woodtwo and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[a] 2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. 3 He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. 4 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
6 He made the atonement cover of pure goldtwo and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 8 He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
The Table
10 They[b] made the table of acacia woodtwo cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[c] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth[d] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the tableits plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
The Lampstand
17 They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstandthree on one side and three on the other. 19 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21 One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pairsix branches in all. 22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
23 They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. 24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent[e] of pure gold.
The Altar of Incense
25 They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high[f]its horns of one piece with it. 26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 27 They made two gold rings below the moldingtwo on each of the opposite sidesto hold the poles used to carry it. 28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

You've got things really going here with your threads about all the fine details and patterns in the constructions of the Ark, the Tabernacle, the Temple. I can't help myself, oops. :)
I just noticed a real simple meaning in the structure in the letters here :
1 Kings 8
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 And it was in the heart [levav] of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
The word heart is levav (לבב), lamed bet bet.
The outer letters still spell the word heart (lev לב), meaning that the letter in the middle of the heart is a bet, which is a house.
So it's literal in the letter structure to say that it was in David's heart to build a house, because there it is, the letter bet, right in the middle of his heart. A house (bet) within a heart (lev) = levav.
These things are just sitting there in the text, to observe and delight in.

They had no holes in the bottom, so the water that went in could not come out. The potting mixture soon became stale and poisoned anything that was planted in it.
Thanks for the reminder. . .I have a couple of these and thanks for great study.

“Beth” is a really popular word in the the naming of temples and synagogues, at least in the USA...Beth Shalom, Beth Israel, Beth Te’Filliah, Beth Am, Beth El, etc.
Meaning “House”, it of course makes sense.
