The presence of God. The Ark. Of the covenant was to be built to carry around the very presence of the Almighty creator. The Exodus account gives very detailed instructions about the construction of the vessel that would house his presence, while the israelites wandered around the desert. It was to be covered in pure gold, and perfect in every way.
