1 Kings 8:7-9

7ForH3588 the cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 their wingsH3671 overH413 the placeH4725 of the arkH727 and overshadowedH5526H4605 the arkH727 andH5921 its polesH905.

8The polesH905 extended far enoughH748 that theirH905 endsH7218 were visibleH7200 fromH4480 the Holy PlaceH6944 inH5921 frontH6440 of the inner sanctuaryH1687, but notH3808 from outsideH2351 the Holy Place;1 and they areH1961 thereH8033 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.

9There was nothingH369 in the arkH727 exceptH7535 the twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 thatH834 MosesH4872 had placedH5117 in itH8033 at HorebH2722,2 whereH834 the LORDH3068 had made a covenantH3772 withH5973 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 after they had come outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
