Legendary Weapons in BI?

Maybe charging it up was part of a ritual.
With reference to its powers,
In the march from Sinai, and at the crossing of the Jordan, the Ark preceded the people, and was the signal for their advance (Num. 10:33; Josh. 3:3, 6). The Ark of the Covenant burned the thorns and other obstructions in the wilderness roads. According to tradition, sparks from between the two cherubim killed serpents and scorpions. (Canticles iii) [1] During the crossing of the Jordan, the river grew dry as soon as the feet of the priests carrying the Ark touched its waters; and remained so until the priests -- with the Ark -- left the river, after the people had passed over (Josh. 3:15-17; 4:10, 11, 18). As memorials, twelve stones were taken from the Jordan at the place where the priests had stood (Josh. 4:1-9).

All I can say to those powers is what I have said before when I brought them up in my previous posts. They didn't come from the Ark itself. They came from God we're told. Besides, if the Egyptians had this technology militarized why did a bunch of slaves apply it before the super power of the age did? I'm all for Egyptians with light bulbs, but Tesla Coils.... I think not.

If so, during WWII, the French might have defended Paris with a little more effort:

For reference with context to Num 10:33...

32 And it must occur that in case you should come with us, yes, it must occur that with what goodness Jehovah will do good with us, we, in turn, will do good to you."

33 So they went marching from the mountain of Jehovah for a journey of three days, and the ark of Jehovah's covenant was marching before them for a journey of three days to search out a resting-place for them. 34 And Jehovah's cloud was over them by day at their marching out from the encampment.

For reference with context to Joshua 3:3-6...

3 and to command the people, saying: "As soon as YOU see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah YOUR God, and the priests, the Levites, carrying it, then YOU yourselves will pull away from YOUR place, and YOU must follow it, 4 -only let there prove to be a distance between YOU and it of about two thousand cubits by measure; do not get near to it-in order that YOU may know the way by which YOU should go, for YOU have not passed over on that way before."

5 Joshua now said to the people: "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonderful things in YOUR midst."

6 Then Joshua said to the priests: "Take up the ark of the covenant and pass before the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

As for stilling the Jordan...

Oh silly diamagnetism, when will you learn?

The so called 'Moses Effect' based on the principal of diamagnetism which works specifically on the negative attraction of hydrogen atoms and positive attraction of oxygen atoms in water molecules. Since water molecules and arranged with the oxygens on one side and hydrogen on the other side, the molecule has two poles. When a magnetic field is induced on them all the atoms align. When placed in a VERY strong magnetic field, the water will travel to the opposite extremities of the field, hence 'Moses Effect.'

So, how many copper-iron batteries do you think it would take to generate that powerful of a magneticfield?
