What did the Ark of the Covenant look like? Was the gold plain or was it patterned? Were the Cherubim male - like creatures or were they more like the four faced creatures of Ezekial? Were the poles on the wide sides or the narrow sides? Would Aron's staff be small enough to fit inside? (That was one of my questions when I made the 3D model).

Here is a 3D visualisation of the Ark of the Covenant (or the Ark of the Testimony). It is one of several videos showing the various parts and components that make up the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. My hope is that you will find this video informative and useful in bringing to life the details of the Tabernacle written in the book of Exodus.  All the videos here are free to download in HD quality from the Bible Scenes website. My goal is to be able to spend all my working hours re-creating scenes from the Bible that can be used by anyone, free of charge, in any way (with a few conditions). If you feel led to support this Bible Scenes project do consider supporting me with a monthly subscription, you can find the details on the Bible Scenes web site. As always a super big thank you to those of you who are supporting me, if not financially then emotionally and spiritually.

All the scenes of the Tabernacle were created with a combination of Blender and Unreal Engine. Mostly modeled and textured in Blender and then imported into Unreal Engine for rendering. 

All the voice overs were done by my good friend, colleague and brother in law Howard Conder.

All of the videos fall under the CC by 4 license which primarily means that if you use them you need to credit Bible Scenes with a link to either this Youtube channel or the website www.bible-scenes.com (https://bible-scenes.com/bible-scenes-license/)

The Ark of the Covenant. Exodus 25:10-22

10 “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around. 12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; two rings shall be on one side, and two rings on the other side. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried by them. 15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. 16 And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you.17 “You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width. 18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. 20 And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. 21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. 22 And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
