Covenant Ark

The section on shrines compared the similarities between Egyptian and Jewish arks. Yet one thing truly sets the Hebrew Ark of the Covenant apart from all others: its dimensions.

The Bible is quite specific as to the ark's size and shape: (L x W x H) 2.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 Hebrew cubits. While not a cube, it is nonetheless square on end. And since these plans were "divinely revealed" to Moses they constituted yet another instance of heavenly plans and what I call "celestial blueprints".
