What is the "Ark of the Covenant"?
The Ark of the Covenant is a sacred object mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, believed to hold the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments. It is described as a gold-covered wooden chest with a lid called the mercy seat. The Ark represents the presence of God among the Israelites and was an important symbol of worship during their journey in the desert. It was carried into battle for divine protection and kept in the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle and later in Solomon's Temple. The Ark signifies the special agreement between God and His people.
