9 Ark of the Covenant

Exodus 25:10 The ark is to be two and a half cubits by one and a half by one and a half.

Exodus 25:19,20 A cherub at each end of the cover with their wings over the cover and flush with one another and the cover.

Exodus 25:22 God talks from between the two cherubs concerning the injunctions for the children of Israel.

Blavatsky's Ebionites state that there is a wall thickness of the ark of one span that leaves an inside dimension of two by one by one cubits. With the tablets of the law being one by one cubit by one thumb thick, two tablets fit in there comfortably with room left over to put stuff on top of them. Two sticks and a bowl. The two tablets each weigh about 30 pounds so the two together are 60 pounds, a talent. Kind of hefty to tote downhill. Wouldn't want to carry them back up the mountain. See the diagrams below for a simplified view of the ark. The two cherubs are each the letter U, so the two together make the letter UU which is recursion. So the Recursioner speaks from within recursion. This would be one of those still, small voices, that is virtual voice. No pitch, no tone, no volume. Just meaning, transferred through sight like with a burning bush that is not consumed. Perhaps a virtual flame between the cherubs.
