Portion Commentary
Inside the Ark
Thought for the Week: The ark of the covenant was at the heart of the Tabernacle. As such, it corresponds to the heart of man. Just as the ark was God's throne in the Tabernacle, we need to make our hearts a suitable throne for Him in our lives.

Commentary: You shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you. (Exodus 25:16)

It is easy to look good on the outside, but how do we make our hearts pure and keep them pure? Is it even possible?
