7. And the priest brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, to the sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubs;
|
7. And the priests H3548 brought in H935 H853 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 his place H4725 , to H413 the oracle H1687 of the house H1004 , into H413 the most holy H6944 H6944 place, even under H413 H8478 the wings H3671 of the cherubims H3742 :
|
|
8. and the cherubs spread out wings over the place under the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark and its staves from above;
|
8. For the cherubims H3742 spread forth H1961 H6566 their wings H3671 over H5921 the place H4725 of the ark H727 , and the cherubims H3742 covered H3680 H5921 the ark H727 and the staves H905 thereof above H4480 H4605 .

|
|
10. Nothing was in the ark but the two tablets that Moses gave in Horeb, where Jehovah cut a covenant with the sons of Israel when they came out from Egypt.
|
10. There was nothing H369 in the ark H727 save H7535 the two H8147 tables H3871 which H834 Moses H4872 put H5414 therein at Horeb H2722 , when H834 the LORD H3068 made H3772 a covenant with H5973 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , when they came out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 .
|
|
11. And it happened as the priests were going from the sanctuary (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves without observing divisions),
|
11. And it came to pass H1961 , when the priests H3548 were come out H3318 of H4480 the holy H6944 place : ( for H3588 all H3605 the priests H3548 that were present H4672 were sanctified H6942 , and did not H369 then wait H8104 by course H4256 :
|
|
12. and the Levitical singers to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons and to their brothers, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, and with harps and lyres, were standing on the east of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing with trumpets.
|
12. Also the Levites H3881 which were the singers H7891 , all H3605 of them of Asaph H623 , of Heman H1968 , of Jeduthun H3038 , with their sons H1121 and their brethren H251 , being arrayed H3847 in white linen H948 , having cymbals H4700 and psalteries H5035 and harps H3658 , stood H5975 at the east end H4217 of the altar H4196 , and with H5973 them a hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 priests H3548 sounding H2690 with trumpets H2689 :)
|
|
13. And they were as one to the trumpeters, and to the singers to cause one sound to be heard to praise and to thank Jehovah. And when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, For He is good; for his mercy endures forever; and a cloud filled the house, the house of Jehovah;
|
13. It came even to pass H1961 , as the trumpeters H2690 and singers H7891 were as one H259 , to make one H259 sound H6963 to be heard H8085 in praising H1984 and thanking H3034 the LORD H3068 ; and when they lifted up H7311 their voice H6963 with the trumpets H2689 and cymbals H4700 and instruments H3627 of music H7892 , and praised H1984 the LORD H3068 , saying , For H3588 he is good H2896 ; for H3588 his mercy H2617 endureth forever H5769 : that then the house H1004 was filled H4390 with a cloud H6051 , even the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 ;
|
|
14. so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.
|
14. So that the priests H3548 could H3201 not H3808 stand H5975 to minister H8334 by reason of H4480 H6440 the cloud H6051 : for H3588 the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 had filled H4390 H853 the house H1004 of God H430 .
