And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.
The chapter opens a new wayyiqtol chain resuming the tabernacle-construction narrative of ch. 36; the subject shifts from the imperative 'you [Moses]' of Exod 25:10 to the named craftsman Bezalel, marking the transition from divine command to human execution.

A long single verse lists the table's four accessory vessels inside a relative clause ('that were on the table'), matching 25:29; the passive יֻסַּךְ ('is/are poured') is a rare Hophal describing the vessels' liturgical use rather than their making.

And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit its length, and a cubit its width — square — and two cubits its height; its horns were of one piece with it.
