God told Israel in Sinai to build Him a sanctuary in the image shown to Moses on Mount (Ex 25.8-9, Heb 8.5).

 

It consisted of two parts - the Holy and the Holy Holy, separated by a curtain (Ex 26.33).

 

In the first part were :

- lamp (Menorah)  (Ex 25.21-39)

- table with the bread (Ex 25.23-30)

- the golden altar of incense (Ex 30.1-10)

 

The second was the ARK (Ex 25.10-22).

 

On the Ark, you can say the following :

a) there was God 's constitutional Law  -  the Decalogue  -  two stone (Deut 10.1-5 , 1 King 3.9). The Law requires obedience from all (Ex 24.12 ; Deut 6.25,13-14). He claims the death of all who violate it, "THE SOUL THE SINNED THUS WILL DIE" (Ezek 18.4). Cover the Ark was called the THRONE OF GRACE, that meant that God will be merciful and gracious to all repentant sinners (Ex 25.17-22, 37.6-7, 33.16-17). 

b) a sinner, or the grace of grace all of God, under the conditions that he REPENTS and BELIEVES IN CHRIST, which appeared in the cloud between cherubs on the throne of grace (Ex 25.22, Lev 16.2, 1 Cor 10.1-4). 

c) in the Law of Moses, in which were all the sacrifices and ministering in the sanctuary, were about the Ark (Deut 31.24-26, Heb 10.1-3). 

d)  the elbow of Levi was service at the Sanctuary (Num3. 5-8).  Only Aharon and his sons could to serve as priests (Num 18.1-7).  Only The HIGH PRIEST could to serve in the Holy Holy  (Lev 16.2, Heb 9.7). 

e) all of the sin offering (priests, society, chiefs, people) was back to sanctuary.
