Deuteronomy 31:26

The Law Placed in the Ark

25he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD:26“Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, so that it may remain there as a witness against you.27For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are already rebelling against the LORD while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after my death!
