What Does 2 Chronicles 5:10 Mean?
The writer notes what the ark contains: the two stone tablets of the law, given to Moses at Horeb when God bound himself to the people he had brought out of Egypt. At the very center of the temple lies the word of the covenant.
The heart of the holy place is the law of God, the terms of his covenant love. Israel's worship is grounded not in mystery alone but in the word God spoke. So too the life of faith rests upon what God has revealed; his commandments are kept, like the tablets, at the center, treasured as the sign of a saving bond.
