7 The priests rought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place beneath the wings of the cherubim in the holy of holies of the temple.
8 The cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark, sheltering the ark and its poles from above.
9 The poles were long enough so that their ends could be seen from that part of the holy place nearest the sanctuary, however, they could not be seen beyond. The ark has remained there to this day.
10 There was nothing in it but the two tablets which Moses put there on Horeb, the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with the Israelites at their departure from Egypt.
