The ark will be constructed of two principle materials, wood and gold. We have already discussed the "human" picture of the shittim wood, and how the Ruach haQodesh reveals to us His, I mean, its kingship nature. YHVH commands first that it be "overlaid" with gold. The use of this word is somewhat confusing to many Jewish and Gentile commentators.
El arca será construida de dos materiales principales, madera y oro. Ya hemos discutido la ilustración "humana" de la madera shittim y cómo el Ruach HaKodesh nos revela Su naturaleza real. El Señor ordena primero que debe ser "cubierta" con oro. El uso de esta palabra es un tanto confuso para muchos comentaristas Judíos y Gentiles.
