Then he said to the priests,“ Carry the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people.” So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.

Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.

and commanded the people,“ When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God carried by the Levitical priests, you are to break camp and follow it.

“ Aaron and his sons are to finish covering the holy objects and all their equipment whenever the camp is to move on. The Kohathites will come and carry them, but they are not to touch the holy objects or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the tent of meeting.

Then David said,“ No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before him forever.”

But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since their responsibility was service related to the holy objects carried on their shoulders.

Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant were standing. The stones are still there today.

David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.He said to them,“ You are the heads of the Levite families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.For the LORD our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of him about the proper procedures.”So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.Then the Levites carried the ark of God the way Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD: on their shoulders with the poles.

When the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of the people.Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge

So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them,“ Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”

They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and the holy utensils that were in the tent. The priests and the Levites brought them up.King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel who had gathered around him were in front of the ark sacrificing sheep, goats, and cattle that could not be counted or numbered because there were so many.The priests brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.And the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark so that the cherubim formed a cover above the ark and its poles.
