1 The ark of the covenant At the very centre of this whole divinely-dictated religion was the ark.

2 The Ark of the Covenant did not always bring victory to its bearers.

3 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

4 To march into battle bearing the Ark of the Covenant was to be undefeated.

5 And they took up the ark of the covenant , and went before the people.

6 No word on whether the Ark of the Covenant was taken to Rome.

7 But some like me think that they found the Ark of the Covenant.

8 Unlike the rest of the Mosaic corpus of laws, the Decalogue was written directly by the finger of God, on tablets of stone, and placed inside the ark of the covenant.
