"The inner sanctuary he prepared in the innermost part of the house to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there." — The *purpose* of the *inner sanctuary* (*dvir*) is *explicit*: to house the *ark of the covenant* (*aron berit YHVH*). The *ark*, containing the *two tablets of stone* (the law given at Sinai), is the *physical embodiment* of God's *covenant* with Israel. Its placement in the *inner sanctuary* makes that space the *most sacred*, the *place where heaven and earth meet*, where God's *presence* and *Israel's covenant* are united.
