II Chronicles 5 · דברי הימים ב

Thus all the work that Shelomo did for the house of the Lord was finished: and Shelomo brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put in the treasures of the house of God.

Then Shelomo assembled the elders of Yisra᾽el, and all the heads of the tribes, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the children of Yisra᾽el, to Yerushalayim, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Żiyyon.

So all the men of Yisra᾽el assembled themselves to the king on the feast, namely, that of the seventh month.

And all the elders of Yisra᾽el came; and the Levites took up the ark.

And they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

And king Shelomo, and all the congregation of Yisra᾽el who were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, to the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the keruvim:

for the keruvim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the keruvim covered the ark and its poles from above.

And they drew out the poles of the ark, so that the ends of the poles were visible from the ark before the sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And there it is to this day.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moshe put there at Ḥorev, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Yisra᾽el, when they came out of Miżrayim.

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not then keep to their duty watches:

also the Levites who were the singers, all of them of Asaf, of Heman, of Yedutun, with their sons and their brethren, clothed in white linen, having cymbals and lutes and lyres, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding the trumpets:)

and it came to pass when all at once the trumpeters and the singers sounded a note in unison, in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever: that then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud;

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
