Midras 1 Raja-raja 8:21: Sifrei Devarim

וָאָשִׂ֨ם שָׁ֤ם מָקוֹם֙ לָֽאָר֔וֹן אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֖ם בְּרִ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ עִם־אֲבֹתֵ֔ינוּ בְּהוֹצִיא֥וֹ אֹתָ֖ם מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ (ס)

Di sana aku telah menyediakan tempat bagi tabut, yang di dalamnya terdapat perjanjian Yang Mahakekal, yang telah diadakan-Nya dengan nenek moyang kita ketika Ia membawa mereka keluar dari tanah Mesir.”

Sifrei Devarim

(Devarim 33:4) "Torah was commanded lanu by Moses": This command is only "lanu," only for our sake. Similarly, (I Kings 8:20) "And I have built the house for the name of the L-rd, the G-d of Israel" — What is the purpose of this house? (Ibid. 21) "And I have built there a place for the ark" — This command is only lanu, only for our sake.
