The Covering

XXIII
The Covering

AS SOLOMON watched, he called for Zadok, the priest.
Go, bring that covering which is on the Ark and take this covering which is better and lay it over the two coverings which are over it."
This covering was made of the finest gold wirework twisted together and hammered out into a pattern and they weren't woven like the threats of purple.
"Take the five golden mice which was given to the Ark and the 10 figures of their shame, the emrods, which the Philistines made for their redemption as well as the fringes of figures of gold that came from the land of Kades, which Moses, in the Sinai, commanded should be worked into the Ark's covering, and give them to my son for his mother said in Tamrin's message that they wanted the fringes to worship."
Then he added that the Ark fringes should be their guide, but he insisted it must remain with Israel forever, although he realized it hadn't been paid all the honor it was due."
Solomon towards where his son was standing by the lead wagon and said to him: "Take this covering and place it on your sanctuary as a sign of your worship of the God of Israel. And when you sacrifice to Jerusalem and the Ark, let your face be towards Jerusalem and pray towards us."
"This will be for my Lady," said Ibna Hakim.
Before the caravan departed, Zadok asked Solomon to put his son, Azariah in charge of the Ark's covering and to be the official in charge of anointing future kings of Ethiopia.
