How preachers through history handled this text
11 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 25, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The ark was a chest, overlaid with gold, in which the two tables of the law were to be kept. These tables are called the testimony; God in them testified his will. This law was a testimony to the Israelites, to direct them in their duty, and would be a testimony against them, if they transgressed. This ark was placed in the holy of holies; the blood of the sacrifices was sprinkled, and the incense burned, before it, by the high priest; and above it appeared the visible glory, which was the symbol of the Divine presence. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 25:10–22 (Public Domain)
