Exploring the history and religious significance of the Israelites' Ark of the Covenant, a chest built at Moses' behest (and first mentioned in the Bible in Exodus 25:16). It is said to contain testimony of God's pact with the Jews and the tablets holding the Ten Commandments. Solomon placed the Ark in the Temple at Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:6-9), but it has been missing since the Babylonians destroyed the temple in 586 B.C. This hour includes speculation as to what might have happened to it.
