Melachim Alef 8:6-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. And the Kohanim brought in the Aron Brit Hashem unto its makom, in the Devir HaBayit, the Kodesh HaKodashim, even under the wings of the keruvim.

7. For the keruvim spread forth their kenafayim (wings) over the place of the Aron, and the keruvim overshadowed the Aron and the poles thereof.

8. They drew out the poles, that the ends of the poles were seen out in the Kodesh before the Devir, but they were not seen from the outside; there they are unto this day.

9. There was nothing in the Aron except the two Luchot HaAvanim (Tablets of Stone), which Moshe placed there at Chorev, when Hashem cut a Brit with the Bnei Yisroel, when they came out of Eretz Mitzrayim.

10. And it came to pass, when the Kohanim were come out of the Kodesh, that the anan filled the Beis Hashem,

11. So that the Kohanim could not stand up to minister because of the anan; for the Kavod Hashem had filled the Beis Hashem.
