The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey

Bag om The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey

Within Egyptian culture, over four hundred examples of ritual furniture exist that shed light on the design and appearance of the ark. These examples form patterns that provide context for the Israelites' understanding of the ark at the time of its construction.
