⁷ And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

⁶ And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁷ And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

⁸ Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.

⁹ And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

²³ In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;

²⁴ With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.

²⁵ The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.

²⁶ The two of them were ten cubits high.

²⁷ These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.

²⁸ These winged ones were plated over with gold.

⁶ And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

⁷ For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

⁴ Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

⁵ And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

²⁰ And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

⁸ Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.
