⁶ Then ^(A)the priests brought the ark of the covenant of Yahweh ^(B)to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, ^(C)under the wings of the cherubim. ⁷ For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles from above. ⁸ But ^(D)the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and they are there to this day.
