"And you shall make a crown of pure gold, and engrave on it in the manner
of a signet ring: 'Holy to the L-rd.'" (Ex. 28: 36)

The ark of the covenant is the only object that is placed within the Holy of Holies. Once a year,
on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the high priest enters the Holy of Holies, asking G-d to forgive the transgressions of
the entire house of Israel. Made of wood covered with gold, it contained within it, during the period of the First Temple,
the Two Tablets of the Law brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses, as well as a vessel containing mannah, and the staff of
Aharon. Fearing its capture by the invading Babylonians, King Josiah had it removed from the Holy of Holies, and hidden in
a chamber deep beneath the Temple Mount. A tradition of its exact location is maintained to this day. The above picture depicts
a mock-up made by the Temple Institute for purposes of research and instruction.
