1 Kings 8:1-11 - The Dedication Of The Temple

1 Then Solomon will convoke together the old men of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, chiefs of the fathers to the sons of Israel, to king Solomon at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David: this is Zion. 2 And every man of Israel will be convoked to king Solomon in the month Ethanim in the festival: this the seventh month.

3 And all the old men of Israel will come, and the priests will lift up the ark 4 And they will bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of appointment, and all the holy vessels which were in the tent, and the priests and the Levites will bring them up. 5 And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel assembled together to him, with him before the ark sacrificing sheep and oxen which shall not be counted and shall not be numbered for multitude. 6 And the priests will bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place to the oracle of the house to the holy of holies, to beneath the wings of the cherubims. 7 For the cherubims spreading out their wings to the place of the ark, and the cherubims will cover over the ark and over the parts from above. 8 And they will prolong the bars and the heads of the bars will be seen from the holies upon the face of the oracle, and they will not be seen without; and they will be there till this day. 9 Nothing in the ark only the two tables of stones that Moses set down there in Horeb which Jehovah cut out with the sons of Israel in their coming out of the land of Egypt

10 And it will be in the priests' coming out of the holy place, and the cloud filled the house of Jehovah. 11 And the priests will not be able to stand to serve from the face of the cloud for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
