Beneath the cherubim

6Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, into the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

7For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles from above.

8And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the Holy Place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.
