In the most holy place stood the ark, a chest of precious wood overlaid with gold, in which was deposited the two tables of stone upon which God had inscribed His law of Ten Commandments (see Ex. 25:10-22, 40:20-21; 1 Kings 8:9).
Sa kabanalbanalang dako ay nakalagay ang kaban, ang kaban ng mahalagang kahoy na binalot ng ginto, na kung saan doon nakalagay ang dalawang tapyas ng bato na doon iniukit ng Dios ang Kaniyang kautusan ng Sampung Utos (tingnan ang Ex. 25:10-22, 40:20-21; 1 Hari 8:9).
