II - Chapter 5

1When all the work that King Shlomo undertook for the House of Hashem was completed, Shlomo brought the things that his father David had consecrated—the silver, the gold, and the utensils—and deposited them in the treasury of the House of Hashem.

2Then Shlomo convoked the elders of Yisrael—all the heads of the tribes and the ancestral chiefs of the Israelites—in Yerushalayim, to bring up the Aron Brit Hashem from the City of David, that is, Tzion.

3All the men of Yisrael assembled before the king at the Feast, in the seventh month.

4When all the elders of Yisrael had come, the Leviim carried the Aron.

5They brought up the Aron and the Tent of Meeting and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent—the Levite Kohanim brought them up.

6Meanwhile, King Shlomo and the whole community of Yisrael, who had gathered to him before the Aron, were sacrificing sheep and oxen in such abundance that they could not be numbered or counted.

7The Kohanim brought the Aron Brit Hashem to its place in the inner Sanctuary of the House, in the Holy of Holies, beneath the wings of the cherubim;

8for the cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the Aron so that the cherubim covered the Aron and its poles from above.

9The poles projected beyond the Aron and the ends of the poles were visible from the front of the inner Sanctuary, but they could not be seen from the outside; and there they remain to this day.

10There was nothing inside the Aron but the two tablets that Moshe placed [there] at Horeb, when Hashem made [a Covenant] with the Israelites after their departure from Egypt.

11When the Kohanim came out of the Sanctuary—all the Kohanim present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to the set divisions—

vai-HI b'-tze-AT ha-ko-ha-NEEM min ha-ko-DESH, KEE kol ha-ko-ha-NEEM ha-nim-tze-EEM hit-ka-DA-shu, AYN lish-MOR l'-makh-l'-KOT

12all the Levite singers, Asaf, Hayman, Yedutun, their sons and their brothers, dressed in fine linen, holding cymbals, harps, and lyres, were standing to the east of the mizbayach, and with them were 120 Kohanim who blew trumpets.

13The trumpeters and the singers joined in unison to praise and extol Hashem; and as the sound of the trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments, and the praise of Hashem, “For He is good, for His steadfast love is eternal,” grew louder, the House, the House of Hashem, was filled with a cloud.

14The Kohanim could not stay and perform the service because of the cloud, for the glory of Hashem filled the House of Hashem.
