2 Chronicles 5:9-11
New English Translation

9 The poles were so long their ends extending out from the ark were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point.[a] They have remained there to this very day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb.[b] (It was there that[c] the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.)

11 The priests left the Holy Place.[d] All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented.[e]

Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 5:9 tn Heb “they could not be seen outside.”
  2. 2 Chronicles 5:10 sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).
  3. 2 Chronicles 5:10 tn Heb “in Horeb where.”
  4. 2 Chronicles 5:11 tn Heb “and when the priests went from the holy place.” The syntactical relationship of this temporal clause to the following context is unclear. Perhaps the thought is completed in v. 14 after a lengthy digression.
