the ark of the covenant (hebrew: אֲרוֹן הַבְּרִית ʾărōn habrīṯ; koinē greek: κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης, romanized: kibōtòs tês diathḗkēs, ge'ez: ታቦት tābōt, also known as the ark of the testimony, or the ark of god), is the most sacred relic of the israelites. it consisted of a pure gold-covered wooden chest with an elaborate lid called the mercy seat. the ark is described in the book of exodus as containing the two stone tablets of the ten commandments. according to new testament book of hebrews, it also contained aaron's rod and a pot of manna.

the biblical account relates that, approximately one year after the israelites' exodus from egypt, the ark was created according to the pattern given to moses by god when the israelites were encamped at the foot of mount sinai. thereafter, the gold-plated acacia chest was carried by its staves by the levites approximately 2,000 cubits (approximately 800 meters or 2,600 feet) in advance of the people when on the march or before the israelite army, the host of fighting men. god spoke with moses "from between the two cherubim" on the ark's cover.
