What was the Ark of the Covenant? • The Book of Exodus describes the Ark of the Covenant that the Israelites created to hold the tablets with the Ten Commandments. It also contained Aaron's rod and some of the manna that God sent to feed the Israelites. • The Ark was made with acacia wood and covered in gold. At the top of the ark stood two cherubim (angels) facing each other. It had four rings on the sides so that large staves could be used to carry the ark. • The Israelites carried the Ark with them while they wandered the desert for forty years. When they stopped to make camp, they put the Ark in a tent called the Tabernacle (dwelling place for God). • The Ark was often a source of strength for God's people in battle. It helped Joshua and his people win the battle of Jericho. • The Ark was lost in a battle with the Philistines, but they returned it to the Israelites after seven months. • King David brought the Ark into the city of Jerusalem with great joy. His son, King Solomon, built the Temple in Jerusalem for the Ark of the Covenant instead of the Tabernacle they used up to that point. • In 587 BC, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple. The fate of the Ark of the Covenant remains a mystery. According to the First book Esdras, the contents of the Ark were taken away by the Babylonians but no mention of the Ark was ever made. • • SUBSCRIBE for more Catholic videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • CONNECT WITH THE RELIGION TEACHER: • -- Facebook: / thereligionteacher • -- Pinterest: / religionteacher • CONNECT WITH JARED: • -- Instagram: / jareddees • -- Twitter: / jareddees • -- LinkedIn: / jareddees • ARE YOU A RELIGIOUS EDUCATOR?
