The Ark of the Covenant
Wood that does not rot, gold within and without, and the manna kept inside. Scroll to watch it.
And thou shalt make an ark of incorruptible wood, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and half its breadth and a cubit and a half its height, and thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it.
Exodus 25:10-11, as St Cyril of Alexandria gives it
the Ark of the Covenant overlaid round about with gold: wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant
Hebrews 9:4, as St John Chrysostom gives it
At that time, then, the Saviour appeared and showed His own body to the world, (born) of the Virgin, who was the “ark overlaid with pure gold,” with the Word within and the Holy Spirit without; so that the truth is demonstrated, and the “ark” made manifest.
Hippolytus of Rome, On Daniel II.6
