Éxodo 25:16 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 25:16

And thou shall put into the ark the testimony that I shall
give thee.
] Which was the principal use of it: by the "testimony" is meant the law, written on two tables of stone; so called, because it was a testification of the mind and will of God, what he would have done or omitted; and as the Israelites had declared their approbation of it, and assent unto it, and had promised obedience to it, therefore, should they transgress it, it would be a testimony against them: now this was put into the ark, and preserved there, see ( Deuteronomy 10:1-5 ) , which may signify that the law was in the heart of Christ, and which he undertook to fulfil, and with pleasure did it; that he is become the fulfilling end of the law for righteousness to them that believe in him; and that it remains with him as a rule of walk and conversation to his people, so far as it is of a moral, holy, and spiritual nature.

Éxodo 25:16 In-Context

14 Mete las varas por los anillos que están a los costados del arca para transportarla.

15 Estas varas para transportar el arca deberán quedar dentro de los anillos; nunca las quites.

16 Cuando el arca esté terminada, pon dentro de ella las tablas de piedra, las tablas grabadas con las condiciones del pacto
que te entregaré.

17 »Después haz la tapa del arca —el lugar de la expiación— de oro puro. Tendrá que medir un metro con quince centímetros de largo, por sesenta y nueve centímetros de ancho.

18 Luego forma dos querubines de oro labrado a martillo y colócalos en los dos extremos de la tapa de la expiación.
