2 Chronicles 5 (WEBP)
[1] Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.
[2] Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
[3] So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
[4] All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.
[5] They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.
[6] King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
[7] The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
[8] For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
[9] The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.
[10] There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
[11] When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;
[12] also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);
[13] when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,
[14] so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.

[1] Thus all the work H4399 that Solomon H8010 made H6213 (QalPerf) for the house H1004 of the Lord H3068 was finished: H7999 (QalImpf) and Solomon H8010 brought H935 (HiphImpf) in all the things H6944 that David H1732 his father H1 had dedicated; H6944 and the silver, H3701 and the gold, H2091 and all the instruments, H3627 put H5414 (QalPerf) he among the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of God. H430
[2] Then Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 (HiphImpf) the elders H2205 of Israel, H3478 and all the heads H7218 of the tribes, H4294 the chief H5387 of the fathers H1 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 unto Jerusalem, H3389 to bring up H5927 (HiphInf) the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the Lord H3068 out of the city H5892 of David, H1732 which is Zion. H6726
[3] Wherefore all the men H376 of Israel H3478 assembled H6950 (NiphImpf) themselves unto the king H4428 in the feast H2282 which was in the seventh H7637 month. H2320
[4] And all the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came; H935 (QalImpf) and the Levites H3881 took up H5375 (QalImpf) the ark. H727
[5] And they brought up H5927 (HiphImpf) the ark, H727 and the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150 and all the holy H6944 vessels H3627 that were in the tabernacle, H168 these did the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 bring up. H5927 (HiphPerf)
[6] Also king H4428 Solomon, H8010 and all the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 that were assembled H3259 (NiphPtc) unto him before H6440 the ark, H727 sacrificed H2076 (PielPtc) sheep H6629 and oxen, H1241 which could not be told H5608 (NiphImpf) nor numbered H4487 (NiphImpf) for multitude. H7230
[7] And the priests H3548 brought in H935 (HiphImpf) the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the Lord H3068 unto his place, H4725 to the oracle H1687 of the house, H1004 into the most H6944 holy H6944 place, even under the wings H3671 of the cherubims: H3742
[8] for the cherubims H3742 spread forth H6566 (QalActPtc) their wings H3671 over the place H4725 of the ark, H727 and the cherubims H3742 covered H3680 (PielImpf) the ark H727 and the staves H905 thereof above. H4605
[9] And they drew out H748 (HiphImpf) the staves H905 of the ark, that the ends H7218 of the staves H905 were seen H7200 (NiphImpf) from the ark H727 before H6440 the oracle; H1687 but they were not seen H7200 (NiphImpf) without. H2351 And there it is unto§ this day. H3117
[10] There was nothing in the ark H727 save the two H8147 tables H3871 which Moses H4872 put H5414 (QalPerf) therein at Horeb, H2722 when§ the Lord H3068 made H3772 (QalPerf) a covenant with the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 when they came out H3318 (QalInf) of Egypt. H4714
[11] And it came to pass, when the priests H3548 were come out H3318 (QalInf) of the holy H6944 place: (for all the priests H3548 that were present§ H4672 (NiphPtc) were sanctified, H6942 (HithPerf) and did not then wait H8104 (QalInf) by course: H4256
[12] also the Levites H3881 which were the singers, H7891 (PolePtc) all of them of Asaph, H623 of Heman, H1968 of Jeduthun, H3038 with their sons H1121 and their brethren, H251 being arrayed H3847 (PualPtc) in white linen, H948 having cymbals H4700 and psalteries H5035 and harps, H3658 stood H5975 (QalActPtc) at the east end H4217 of the altar, H4196 and with them an hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 priests H3548 sounding H2690 (HiphPtc) with trumpets:) H2689
[13] it came even to pass, as the trumpeters H2690 (PielPtc) (Qere) H2690 (PielPtc) and singers H7891 (PolePtc) were as one, H259 to make one H259 sound H6963 to be heard H8085 (HiphInf) in praising H1984 (PielInf) and thanking H3034 (HiphInf) the Lord; H3068 and when they lifted up H7311 (HiphInf) their voice H6963 with the trumpets H2689 and cymbals H4700 and instruments H3627 of musick, H7892 and praised H1984 (PielInf) the Lord, H3068 saying, For he is good; H2896 for his mercy H2617 endureth for ever: H5769 that then the house H1004 was filled H4390 (QalPerf) with a cloud, H6051 even the house H1004 of the Lord; H3068
[14] so that the priests H3548 could H3201 (QalPerf) not stand H5975 (QalInf) to minister H8334 (PielInf) by reason H6440 of the cloud: H6051 for the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 had filled H4390 (QalPerf) the house H1004 of God. H430

[1] και συνετελεσθη πασα η εργασια ην εποιησεν σαλωμων εν οικω κυριου και εισηνεγκεν σαλωμων τα αγια δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου το αργυριον και το χρυσιον και τα σκευη εδωκεν εις θησαυρον οικου κυριου
[2] τοτε εξεκκλησιασεν σαλωμων τους πρεσβυτερους ισραηλ και παντας τους αρχοντας των φυλων τους ηγουμενους πατριων υιων ισραηλ εις ιερουσαλημ του ανενεγκαι κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου εκ πολεως δαυιδ αυτη σιων
[3] και εξεκκλησιασθησαν προς τον βασιλεα πας ανηρ ισραηλ εν τη εορτη ουτος ο μην εβδομος
[4] και ηλθον παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι ισραηλ και ελαβον παντες οι λευιται την κιβωτον
[5] και ανηνεγκαν την κιβωτον και την σκηνην του μαρτυριου και παντα τα σκευη τα αγια τα εν τη σκηνη και ανηνεγκαν αυτην οι ιερεις και οι λευιται
[6] και ο βασιλευς σαλωμων και πασα συναγωγη ισραηλ και οι φοβουμενοι και οι επισυνηγμενοι αυτων εμπροσθεν της κιβωτου θυοντες μοσχους και προβατα οι ουκ αριθμηθησονται και οι ου λογισθησονται απο του πληθους
[7] και εισηνεγκαν οι ιερεις την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου εις τον τοπον αυτης εις το δαβιρ του οικου εις τα αγια των αγιων υποκατω των πτερυγων των χερουβιν
[8] και ην τα χερουβιν διαπεπετακοτα τας πτερυγας αυτων επι τον τοπον της κιβωτου και συνεκαλυπτεν τα χερουβιν επι την κιβωτον και επι τους αναφορεις αυτης επανωθεν
[9] και υπερειχον οι αναφορεις και εβλεποντο αι κεφαλαι των αναφορεων εκ των αγιων εις προσωπον του δαβιρ ουκ εβλεποντο εξω και ησαν εκει εως της ημερας ταυτης
[10] ουκ ην εν τη κιβωτω πλην δυο πλακες ας εθηκεν μωυσης εν χωρηβ α διεθετο κυριος μετα των υιων ισραηλ εν τω εξελθειν αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου
[11] και εγενετο εν τω εξελθειν τους ιερεις εκ των αγιων οτι παντες οι ιερεις οι ευρεθεντες ηγιασθησαν ουκ ησαν διατεταγμενοι κατ εφημεριαν
[12] και οι λευιται οι ψαλτωδοι παντες τοις υιοις ασαφ τω αιμαν τω ιδιθουν και τοις υιοις αυτων και τοις αδελφοις αυτων των ενδεδυμενων στολας βυσσινας εν κυμβαλοις και εν ναβλαις και εν κινυραις εστηκοτες κατεναντι του θυσιαστηριου και μετ αυτων ιερεις εκατον εικοσι σαλπιζοντες ταις σαλπιγξιν
[13] και εγενετο μια φωνη εν τω σαλπιζειν και εν τω ψαλτωδειν και εν τω αναφωνειν φωνη μια του εξομολογεισθαι και αινειν τω κυριω και ως υψωσαν φωνην εν σαλπιγξιν και εν κυμβαλοις και εν οργανοις των ωδων και ελεγον εξομολογεισθε τω κυριω οτι αγαθον οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου και ο οικος ενεπλησθη νεφελης δοξης κυριου
[14] και ουκ ηδυναντο οι ιερεις του στηναι λειτουργειν απο προσωπου της νεφελης οτι ενεπλησεν δοξα κυριου τον οικον του θεου
