according to the bible, both the first shattered set and the second unbroken set were stored in the ark of the covenant, and is outlined in “have the people make an ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high. overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and run a molding of gold all around it. cast four gold rings and attach them to its four feet, two rings on each side. make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. insert the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark to carry it. these carrying poles must stay inside the rings; never remove them. when the ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which i will give to you. (the "aron habrit" in hebrew).

lemba tradition tells of a sacred object, the "ngoma lungundu" or "drum that thunders", which they brought from the place called sena. their oral history claims that the "ngoma" was the biblical ark of the covenant made by moses. parfitt, a professor at soas, university of london, wrote a book in 2008, "the lost ark of the covenant" about the rediscovery of this object. his book was adapted as a television documentary that aired on the history channel, tracing the lemba's claim that the "ngoma lungunda" was the legendary ark of the covenant. following the lead of eighth-century accounts of the ark in arabia, parfitt found a ghost town named sena in the hadhramaut, an area inhabited by people who are genetically linked to the lemba.
