1 Kings 8:9 in Context — 1 Kings 8

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.

9 Il n’y avait dans l’arche que les deux tables de pierre, que Moïse y déposa en Horeb, lorsque l’Éternel fit alliance avec les enfants d’Israël, à leur sortie du pays d’Égypte.

10 Au moment où les sacrificateurs sortirent du lieu saint, la nuée remplit la maison de l’Éternel.

11 Les sacrificateurs ne purent pas y rester pour faire le service, à cause de la nuée; car la gloire de l’Éternel remplissait la maison de l’Éternel.
