EXODUS 40:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:”
He took the tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it. The installation of the ark's contents: the covenant tablets go in, the poles are attached, the mercy seat is placed on top. The ark is complete when the law is inside and the atonement is above. The tablets go in and the cover goes on: the covenant terms beneath the atonement cover communicates the theology of the entire system — what God requires is covered by what God provides.
