1 Kings 8:6-9
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[6] The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim. [7] For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the poles of it above. [8] The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day. [9] There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
