Description

Bring Biblical history into your home with this meticulously crafted Ark of the Covenant replica, inspired by the Temple Mount and the ancient Aksum tradition.

What Does—or Did—the Ark of the Covenant Contain?

Inside the original Ark, according to the Hebrew Bible, were:

1. The stone tablets of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 25)

2. A golden jar of manna—reminding Israel of God’s provision in the wilderness (Hebrews 9:4)

3. Aaron’s budding staff, symbolizing divine authority (Numbers 17)

Our replica pays homage to these sacred contents with engraved symbols on the inner lid—perfect for teaching, display, or devotional use.

Temple Mount Connection

Tradition holds that the Ark once rested in the Holy of Holies atop Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, the most sacred site in Judaism and an enduring point of fascination for scholars and pilgrims alike. The golden-plated wood construction and cherubim on this piece echo descriptions from Exodus 25:10-22.

Aksum Ark of the Covenant Legend

Many believe the Ark was later safeguarded in Aksum, Ethiopia, where the Church of St. Mary of Zion claims to house it to this day. Our design subtly references Ethiopian art motifs along the side panels, honoring that enduring story.

Ark of the Covenant in Spanish

For Spanish-speaking collectors and educators: Ark of the Covenant = “Arca de la Alianza.” This multicultural name appears on a discreet brass plaque beneath the lid—ideal for bilingual classrooms or gifts.
