It was also taught: The ark that Moses made had round it an [empty] space of ten cubits on every side. And it is written, “And in front of the Sanctuary was twenty cubits in length [and twenty cubits in breadth],” (I Kings 6:20) and it is also written, “And the wing of the one cherub was ten cubits and the wing of the other cherub was ten cubits” (based on I Kings 6:24-25). Where then was the ark itself? Rather derive from this that it stood [without occupying any room].

Consequently it must be inferred ... that they stood by a miracle. ...
