How did Beṣalel make the Ark? Rebbi Ḥanina said, he made three boxes, two of gold and one of wood. He put (the one of wood inside one of gold and) one of gold inside the one of wood, [and the one of wood inside the other one of gold] and covered it, as is written⁴⁰Ex.25:11. As usual, the proof is by the part of the verse not quoted: You shall cover it, with pure gold inside and out you shall cover it, implying separate covers.: You shall cover it with pure gold inside and out. Why does the verse say, you shall cover it? To include the upper rim. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, he made one box and gilded it, as is written: You shall cover it with pure gold inside and out. Why does the verse say, you shall cover it? Rebbi Phineas said, also between the planks.

How did Beṣalel make the Ark? Rebbi Ḥanina said¹¹²In the Babli, Yoma 72b, this is the opinion of Rav Jehudah, contemporary of R. Ḥanina. The other opinion is not mentioned there., he made three boxes, two of gold and one of wood. He put one of gold inside the one of wood, and the one of wood inside the other one of gold. That is what is written¹¹³Ex. 25:11: “You shall cover it with pure gold, inside and out you shall cover it”.: “You shall cover it inside and out with pure gold inside and out.” Why does the verse say, “you shall cover it”? To include the upper rim¹¹⁴Which was covered by the gold cover separate from the Ark (Ex. 25:17–21.). Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, he made one box and gilded it. That is what is written: “You shall cover it inside and out with pure gold inside and out.” Why does the verse say, “you shall cover it”? Rebbi Phineas said, also between the planks.

Why then should we not deduce from the crown, of which a master stated: The crown was on the smallest possible size? We deduce the size of a vessel from that of another vessel, but not from an accessory to a vessel. If so, [it may be objected] was not the border also an appurtenance of a vessel? The border was below [the top of] the table.
