Moses is carefully following God's instructions to set up the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary for the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. The tablets of the covenant law, inscribed with the Ten Commandments, are placed inside the Ark of the Covenant, signifying the foundational role of God's law in guiding the Israelites. The Ark itself is a sacred chest, symbolizing God's presence and His covenant with His people. The poles attached to the Ark allow it to be carried without being touched directly, emphasizing the holiness of the Ark. The atonement cover, also known as the mercy seat, is placed over the Ark, representing God's throne and His mercy towards His people. This meticulous setup underscores the importance of obedience, reverence, and the centrality of God's commandments in the Israelites' spiritual life. By following these divine instructions, the Israelites are reminded of their covenant relationship with God and the need to uphold His laws as they journey towards the Promised Land.
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.
