1 Kings 8:6 in Context — 1 Kings 8
4 Ils transportèrent l’arche de l’Éternel, la tente d’assignation, et tous les ustensiles sacrés qui étaient dans la tente: ce furent les sacrificateurs et les Lévites qui les transportèrent.
5 Le roi Salomon et toute l’assemblée d’Israël convoquée auprès de lui se tinrent devant l’arche. Ils sacrifièrent des brebis et des bœufs, qui ne purent être ni comptés, ni nombrés, à cause de leur multitude.
6 Les sacrificateurs portèrent l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel à sa place, dans le sanctuaire de la maison, dans le lieu très saint, sous les ailes des chérubins.
7 Car les chérubins avaient les ailes étendues sur la place de l’arche, et ils couvraient l’arche et ses barres par-dessus.
8 On avait donné aux barres une longueur telle que leurs extrémités se voyaient du lieu saint devant le sanctuaire, mais ne se voyaient point du dehors. Elles ont été là jusqu’à ce jour.
