Nemesis Now Ark of the Covenant Trinket Box

The Ark of the Covenant,  also known as the Ark of the Testimony, is a fabled chest described in the Book of Exodus to contain the tablets of stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed. As depicted in the book of Exodus, the Ark was built at the command of God, per the instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai in Deuteronomy, these events are described as having transpired at Mount Horeb.

The biblical account relates that, approximately one year after the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, the Ark was created according to the pattern given to Moses by God when Israel was encamped at the foot of Mount Sinai. Thereafter, the gold-plated acacia chest was carried by the Levites approximately 2,000 cubits (approximately 800 meters or 2,600 feet) in advance of the people when on the march or before the Israelite army, the host of fighting men. When the Ark was borne by Levites into the bed of the Jordan River, the waters parted as God had parted the waters of the Red Sea, opening a pathway for the entire host to pass.The walls of the city of Jericho were shaken to the ground with no more than a shout from the army after the Ark of the Covenant was paraded around them for seven days by Levites accompanied by seven priests sounding seven trumpets of rams' horns. When carried, the Ark was always hidden under a large veil made of skins and blue cloth, always carefully concealed, even from the eyes of the priests and the Levites who carried it. God was said to have communicated with Moses "from between the two cherubim" on the Ark's cover.
