The Stolen Ark of God “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice…O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day.” The Facts, Please! At the foot of Mt. Sinai, the Israelites built the tabernacle by the directions God gave them. A fence of curtains surrounded the tent. This was the outer court, where the people worshiped God and the priests offered sacrifices on an altar for the sins of all the people. Inside the tabernacle a thick curtain divided two rooms. More Facts! The ark was a box, about 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches deep. It was made of wood and covered with gold. There were rings on the side, with long poles inserted in them, for carrying the ark. The ark was never to be removed from the Most Holy Place, unless God said to do it. continue Inside the ark were the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written. The cover of the ark was pure gold. On it were two golden cherubim, touching in the center. Underneath the wings was the mercy seat-the place were God met with his people. He showed his presence by a brilliant light above the mercy seat. continue The high priest entered the Most Holy Place only once a year. Then he sprinkled the blood of a bull on the mercy seat. When he returned again, a shout of joy went up from the people, because that meant God had forgiven their sins of the past year. Now see handout for activity
