2 Chronicles 5:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ The carrying poles were so long that anyone standing in the ·Holy Place [inner sanctuary] in front of the ·Most Holy Place [^THoly of Holies] could see the ends of the poles. But no one could see them from outside the Holy Place. The poles are still there today. ¹⁰ The only things inside the Ark were two stone tablets [^Cinscribed with the Ten Commandments] that Moses had put in the Ark at ·Mount Sinai [^LHoreb]. That was where the Lord made his ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.

¹¹ Then all the priests ·left [came out of; withdrew from] the Holy Place. (All the priests ·from each group [regardless of their divisions/orders; or whether they were serving that day or not] had ·made themselves ready to serve the Lord [consecrated/purified/sanctified themselves].)
