in the Arke the Testimony] Wherein the two Tables of stone written with the finger of God, Exodus 31:18. (called the Testimony, because by them was testified Gods will concerning their dutie) were placed, and nothing else for a long time, 1 Kings 8:9. 2 Chron. 5. 10. So that the golden Pot of Manna, &Aarons Rod that budded, were not then placed in the Arke, but elsewhere in the Tabernacle; but afterwards it seemes they were put with the Tables into the Arke, Hebrews 9:4. 2 Kings 11:12. 1 Corinthians 2:1.
