And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which you return to him for a trespass offering, in a box by the side of it; and send it away, that it may go.

George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Box. Hebrew argaz, (which the Septuagint retain; Haydock) means also "a purse or basket. "(Calmet)
Josephus ( 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)
