Talmud sobre Números 17:25

⁵⁷Babli Yoma 52b, Horaiot 12a, Keritut 5b; Tosephta Kippurim 2:15, Soṭah 13:1; Seder ‘Olam 24; Abot dR. Nathan A 31. In the Babli and the sources depending on it, some Tannaïm hold that the Ark was brought to Babylon. When the ark was hidden, there were hidden with it the flask of Manna⁵⁸Ex. 16:33–34., the bottle of anointing oil⁵⁹Ex. 30:22–33., Aaron’s staff with its flowers and almonds⁶⁰Num. 17:25., and the chest which the Philistines returned as a reparation sacrifice for Israel’s God⁶¹1Sam. 6.. Who hid it? Josiah! When he saw that it was written⁶²Deut. 28:36.: “The Eternal will lead you and your king whom you will have put above you, to a people whom neither you nor your fathers had known,” he started and hid it. That is what is written⁶³2Chr. 35:3. The Levites had not carried the Ark since the time of Samuel.: “He said to the Levites, who instruct all of Israel, the ones holy to the Eternal, put the Ark into the House that Salomon, son of David, king of Israel, built; you do not have to carry it on your shoulder.” He said, if it is exiled with you to Babylonia, you will never return it to its place. But “⁶³2Chr. 35:3. The Levites had not carried the Ark since the time of Samuel. now, serve the Eternal, your God, and his people Israel.”
