1 Kings 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:7

For the cherubim spread forth [their] two wings over the place
of the ark
The most holy place where the ark stood, even from wall to wall:

and the cherubim covered the ark, and the staves thereof above;
so that neither could be seen.

1 Kings 8:7 In-Context

5 rex autem Salomon et omnis multitudo Israhel quae convenerat ad eum gradiebatur cum illo ante arcam et immolabant oves et boves absque aestimatione et numero
6 et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam foederis Domini in locum suum in oraculum templi in sanctum sanctorum subter alas cherubin
7 siquidem cherubin expandebant alas super locum arcae et protegebant arcam et vectes eius desuper
8 cumque eminerent vectes et apparerent summitates eorum foris sanctuarium ante oraculum non apparebant ultra extrinsecus qui et fuerunt ibi usque in praesentem diem
9 in arca autem non est aliud nisi duae tabulae lapideae quas posuerat in ea Moses in Horeb quando pepigit foedus Dominus cum filiis Israhel cum egrederentur de terra Aegypti
