Testimonies were not only verbal declarations but also included written records and physical symbols that served as reminders of covenants and divine laws. The Ark of the Covenant, for example, was known as the "Ark of the Testimony" because it contained the tablets of the Law, which were a testimony to God's covenant with Israel.
