The Ark's Procession
Commentators describe a vivid scene: the ark is brought from Abinadab's house on a new cart, with his son Ahio walking in front to guide the oxen. However, some scholars note that this verse is a near-repetition of verse 3 and is omitted in other ancient manuscripts, suggesting a possible scribal error.
