1 Kings 8:6-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

6. The priests carried the Box of the Lord’S Agreement to its proper place inside the Most Holy Place in the Temple, under the wings of the Cherub angels.

7. The wings of the Cherub angels spread out over the Holy Box, and they covered the Holy Box and its carrying poles.

8. The poles are still there today. They are too long for the Most Holy Place, so anyone standing in the Holy Place can see the ends of the poles, although no one outside can see them.

9. The only things inside the Holy Box are the two tablets that Moses put there at Mt. Horeb. This is where the Lord made his agreement with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.

10. When the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Lord’S Temple.

11. The priests could not continue their work because the Temple was filled with the Glory of the Lord.

12. Then Solomon said, “The Lord caused the sun to shine in the sky, but he chose to live in a dark cloud.
