Ia berkata kepada orang-orang Lewi yang mengajar seluruh Israel, yang kudus bagi Yang Mahakekal: “Tempatkanlah tabut kudus di dalam Bait yang dibangun oleh Salomo bin Daud, raja Israel. Kalian tidak lagi memikul beban di bahu. Sekarang layanilah Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu, dan umat-Nya, Israel.”
Mishnah Shekalim
There were in the Temple thirteen chests, thirteen tables and thirteen prostrations. [Members] of the household of Rabban Gamaliel and of Rabbi Hananiah the chief of the priests used would prostrate fourteen [times. And where was the additional [prostration]? In front of the wood storage yard, for they had a tradition from their forefathers that the Ark was hidden there.
