21 " This is a gift to you from Yahweh because of his goodness. Just like I've learned that my failures do not lessen my family's love for me, yours do not change the character of the God who offers grace for all us through the blood of the sacrifice on the mercy seat. "

22 " Just as I had yesterday, I felt the strangest urge to run toward it and lay myself on the ground at its base, but at the same time, something deep inside told me to flee in terror from whatever awful power it represented. "
23 " For if Dagon was now powerless and sightless, perhaps the God of the Hebrews had not been bested after all. "
24 " These hands were made to defend those who cannot decent themselves. And tonight, that means protecting your sister by fleeing Ashdod. "
25 " Follow the Ark, Arisa. Do not turn to the right of to the left, and do not stop until it dwells among the cedars and you are sheltered in perfect peace. "
26 " The Ark of the Covenant was more than a golden vessel that contained a few relics of the past; it was the physical reminder that the Creator of the universe himself had deigned to dwell among his people. "
27 " The draw she’d had on me, even from the first time I’d seen her dancing at the wedding, was undeniable. And every moment I’d spent with her since then had felt like the unfurling of something far more precious and rare than the most exotic bloom Eliora had cultivated on this mountain—even when my intentions had been less than honorable. "
28 " The Eternal One was not made by man; there is no place you can go that he will not be with you "
29 " It is not the Ark that watches over me and protects me, but the God Who Sees...No matter where I go, Yahweh's peace and protection will go with me. "
