Preeety sure there's stuff in the bible about who is allowed (and when) to look upon the ark and shit. If at all. There's one story in the bible where some guy touches it (to try and prevent it falling off the cart) and drops dead. One can imagine what happens when one looks upon That Which Should Not Be Looked Upon. There's a section in the bible just after Moses' story about how the temple (then in tent-form) should be set up and how (and by whom) the ark should be handled, but I cba to look it up.

Holy cow that IS a cool super weapon! It sounds to be as powerful as a nuke if handled right but disadvantageous and may require kamikaze operatives from openning the Ark!

The High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies (where the Ark was kept) on Yom Kippur, but that was it. Otherwise, it wasn't supposed to be looked at or directly touched. When transported, it was supposed to be covered with a thick cloth and borne upon something like a bier.

There's a common legend thst the High Priest would have a rope tied to his ankle for removal of his body from the Holy of Holies if he caught God on a bad day, but it's just bunk.
