6 Then the priests abrought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to bits place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, cunder the wings of the cherubim.

1 Kings 8:8

Drew out - Not wholly, which was expressly forbidden, Exodus 25:15, Numbers 4:6, but in part. Seen out - In the most holy place, which is oft called by way of eminency, the holy place, and the Hebrew words rendered before the oracle, may be as well rendered, within the oracle. And these staves were left in this posture, that the high - priest might hereby be certainly guided to that very place where he, was one day in a year to sprinkle blood, and to offer incense before the ark, which otherwise he might mistake in that dark place, where the ark was wholly covered with the wings of the great cherubim, which stood between him and the ark when he entered in.
