(9) There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
It is worthy our closest observation, how particular the Holy Ghost is, in more places than one, in pointing out what was in the ark. Hebrews 9:3-5; Revelation 11:19. No doubt, as the ark was one of the most expressive types of Jesus, all that was put into the ark had a reference to the fulness contained in Jesus. He is the Covenant itself, and all the blessings included in it. Ephesians 1:22-23.
