The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey

Bag om The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey

These examples form patterns that provide context for the Israelites' understanding of the ark at the time of its construction. That understanding would have been obvious to the Israelites of the time, but has since become obscured over the millennia.
