1 Kings 8:8 CPDV

⁶  And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

⁷  For indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.

⁸  And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present day.

⁹  Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from the land of Egypt.

¹⁰  Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.
