In Exodus 15:10, Moses relates the exact instructions which "? " gave for
building the Ark of the Covenant. The directions are given to the very inch, how
and where staves and rings are to be fitted, and from what alloy the metals are
to be made. The instructions were meant to ensure that everything was carried
out exactly as "? " wanted it. He warned Moses several times not to make any
mistakes.
"And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the
mount" (Exodus 25:40).
"? " also told Moses that he would speak to him from the mercy seat. No one, he
told Moses, should come close to the Ark of the Covenant, and he gave precise
instructions about the clothing to be worn and the footwear appropriate when
transporting it In spite of all this care there was a slipup (2 Samuel 6: :2).
David had the Ark of the Covenant moved, and Uzzah helped to drive the cart it
was in. When passing cattle shook and threatened to overturn the Ark, Uzzah
grabbed hold of it. He fell dead on the spot, as if struck by lightning.
Undoubtedly the Ark was electrically charged! If we reconstruct it today
according to the instructions handed down by Moses, an electric conductor of
several hundred volts is produced. The border and golden crown would have served
to charge the condenser which was formed by the gold plates and a positive and
negative conductor. If, in addition, one of the two cherubim on the mercy seat
acted as a magnet, the loudspeaker--perhaps even a kind of set for communication
between Moses and the spaceship--was perfect. The details of the construction of
the Ark of the Covenant can be read in the Bible in their entirety. Without
actually consulting Exodus, I seem to remember that the Ark was often surrounded
by flashing sparks and that Moses made use of this "transmitter" whenever he
needed help and advice. Moses heard the voice of his Lord, but he never saw him
face to face.
