The ark of the Old Covenant bore the Word of God, the Torah.

No; it contained the LAW: ten of them anyway.

It ALSO had a jar of Manna and Aaron's rod that budded!

Wait. I saw the movie. Moses Ben Heston put the Torah in there. We were watching at seminary and the guy among us who was the most literal in his interpretation (of the Bible, not the movie) cheered.

The same applies though. Ps 119 is enough to show that the Psalmist uses “word” and “law” virtually interchangeably, and we’re not going to complain if we get to add to our ‘figure’ the bread from heaven.

Rod of Aaron ... Rod of Jesse (see the “O antiphons” or the hymn “Veni Emmanuel”).
