2 Maccabees 2:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Then, after having given them the law, the prophet cautioned them not to forget the commandments of the Lord or to let their thoughts be led astray by the sight of the gold and silver statues and their ornamentation. ³ And with other similar admonitions he urged them never to allow the law to depart from their hearts.

⁴ That same document also records that the prophet, in obedience to a divine revelation, issued orders that the tent and the Ark should accompany him, and that he went off to the mountain^[a] that Moses had ascended to view God’s inheritance.
