Why did the Torah not instruct Moshe to place the Luchos inside the Aron?

1.

Ramban: Because, by referring to the Aron as "Aron ha'Eidus" (with reference to the Luchos), this was self-understood. 1

Moreover, Hashem had already told Moshe in Terumah, 25:21 that he would "place the lid on the Aron and put the Luchos inside it" (Ramban).

2)

Since when did the Paroches cover the Aron?

1.

Menachos, 94a: Rebbi learned from here that "Al" does not (necessarily) mean 'on' but 'close to'. 1
