Arcam is the destination to which each separated human substance tends because it originally came from there. The edition therefore uses “repository,” preserving the sense of a containing source. The passage does not name a particular biblical ark. Its body, soul, and spirit have different destinations, so the common container-word does not erase their distinction.
