Table: of Testimony were Placed in the Ark of the Covenant

…and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained.

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.

…containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
