And you shall set the mercy seat on the ark above, and you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.

in the tabernacle of the testimony, outside the veil that is before the [ark of the] Covenant, shall Aaron and his sons burn it from evening until morning, before the Lord- it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations of the children of Israel.

And you shall set it before the veil that is over the ark of the Testimony, wherein I will make Myself known to you from there.

And of these you shall beat some very fine, and you shall put it before the testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, from where I will make Myself known to you: it shall be to you a most holy incense.

And I turned and came down from the mountain, and I put the tablets into the ark which I had made; and there they were, as the Lord commanded me.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which Moses put [there] in Horeb, which [tablets] the Lord made [as a covenant] with the children of Israel in their going forth from the land of Egypt.
