The purpose of the Aron

We asked why is it that only by the Aron does the Torah tell us why it was made; “And I will meet with you from on top of the Keruvim and will tell you all that I wish to convey to the Jewish people” Why doesn’t it tell us of the purpose of all the vessels of the Mishkan? We suggested that there is a basic difference between the Aron and all the other vessels. The Aron was the resting place for the Shchina. Everything else was to serve that Shchina resting above the Aron. That is what the Torah is saying here; the Aron will be where Hashem will come to. After we learn that Hashem will appear above the Aron the rest of the story follows naturally; certainly it is proper to burn incense before Him and sacrifice Korbanos to Him.
