- καὶ λήμψεσθε τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ θήσετε αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν ἅμαξαν, καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ ἀποδώσετε αὐτῇ τῆς βασάνου καὶ οὐ θήσετε ἐν θέματι βερεχθὰν ἐκ μέρους αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖτε αὐτὴν καὶ ἀπελάσατε αὐτήν, καὶ ἀπελεύσεσθε.

Haydock's commentary
Box. Hebrew argaz, (which the Septuagint retain; Haydock) means also "a purse or basket." (Calmet)
Josephus ([Antiquities?] vi. 1,) says, "the box was placed upon the ark." (Haydock)
We do not read what became of these presents afterwards: but it is supposed that they were kept in the sanctuary till the time of the captivity. (Calmet)
