I got a question for you: Aron Kodesh comes from Hebrew 'aron qodes (i.e. aron kodesh), Holy Ark. This name is a reference to the' aron haqqodes, the Hebrew name for the Ark of the Covenant which was stored in the Holy of Holies in the inner sanctuary of both the ancient Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem. Similarly, Hekhal, also written hechal, echal or heichal -- and sometimes also Echal Kodesh (mainly among Balkan Sephardim) comes from Hebrew (hekhal)' palace', was used in the same time period to refer to the inner sanctuary. The hekhal contained the Menorah, Altar of Incense, and Table of the Showbread.
