The Ark of the Covenant is one of the holiest artifacts of the Hebrew Bible. So holy that looking at or touching it could be deadly. But what actually is it, and what is it for? Here’s the untold truth of the Ark of the Covenant.

The Ark of the Covenant, also sometimes called the Ark of the Testimony or the Ark of God, is not to be confused with the other famous ark in the Bible, which was a boat. The word "ark" comes from the Latin word arca, meaning "big box." Just as Noah's Ark was a big floating box for him to put animals in, the Ark of the Covenant was apparently a big box full of things important to God that would represent his presence among the people of Israel as they wandered through the desert after escaping slavery in Egypt.

The Jewish Encyclopedia describes the Ark as a movable sanctuary for the Israelites, a place for God to sit until they arrived in the promised land and could establish a temple there. The Ark was not to be touched or looked at when uncovered. On the move, the Ark was always covered by skins and cloths, hidden even from the priests who carried it. When stationary, it was held up by poles so it wouldn't touch the ground. Even the high priest was forbidden from being in the place of the Ark except when it necessary to perform certain rituals and ceremonies.

And as the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry explained, the top of the Ark was known as the mercy seat, a lid of pure gold placed on the Ark and put within the Holy of Holies behind the veil of the Tabernacle, where God himself actually showed up and the High Priest would go once a year to sprinkle blood as a sacrifice to calm God down for another year.
