2 Chronicles 5

1Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.

וַתִּשְׁלַם כָּל־הַמְּלָאכָה אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹה לְבֵית יְהוָה ס וַיָּבֵא שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־קָדְשֵׁי ׀ דָּוִיד אָבִיו וְאֶת־הַכֶּסֶף וְאֶת־הַזָּהָב וְאֶת־כָּל־הַכֵּלִים נָתַן בְּאֹצְרֹות בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים׃ (7220)

2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

אָז יַקְהֵיל שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת־כָּל־רָאשֵׁי הַמַּטֹּות נְשִׂיאֵי הָאָבֹות לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם לְהַעֲלֹות אֶת־אֲרֹון בְּרִית־יְהוָה מֵעִיר דָּוִיד הִיא צִיֹּון׃ (7463)

3Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ כָּל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בֶּחָג הוּא הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִעִי׃ (1914)

4And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

וַיָּבֹאוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּשְׂאוּ הַלְוִיִּם אֶת־הָאָרֹון׃ (1860)

5And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

וַיַּעֲלוּ אֶת־הָאָרֹון וְאֶת־אֹהֶל מֹועֵד וְאֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר בָּאֹהֶל הֶעֱלוּ אֹתָם הַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם׃ (3586)

6Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

וְהַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה וְכָל־עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנֹּועָדִים עָלָיו לִפְנֵי הָאָרֹון מְזַבְּחִים צֹאן וּבָקָר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִסָּפְרוּ וְלֹא יִמָּנוּ מֵרֹב׃ (4109)

7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

וַיָּבִיאוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־אֲרֹון בְּרִית־יְהוָה אֶל־מְקֹומֹו אֶל־דְּבִיר הַבַּיִת אֶל־קֹדֶשׁ הַקְּדָשִׁים אֶל־תַּחַת כַּנְפֵי הַכְּרוּבִים׃ (4524)

8For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

וַיִּהְיוּ הַכְּרוּבִים פֹּרְשִׂים כְּנָפַיִם עַל־מְקֹום הָאָרֹון וַיְכַסּוּ הַכְּרוּבִים עַל־הָאָרֹון וְעַל־בַּדָּיו מִלְמָעְלָה׃ (2788)

9And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.

וַיַּאֲרִיכוּ הַבַּדִּים וַיֵּרָאוּ רָאשֵׁי הַבַּדִּים מִן־הָאָרֹון עַל־פְּנֵי הַדְּבִיר וְלֹא יֵרָאוּ הַחוּצָה וַיְהִי־שָׁם עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ (2813)

10There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

אֵין בָּאָרֹון רַק שְׁנֵי הַלֻּחֹות אֲשֶׁר־נָתַן מֹשֶׁה בְּחֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת יְהוָה עִם־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּצֵאתָם מִמִּצְרָיִם׃ (5800)

11And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:

וַיְהִי בְּצֵאת הַכֹּהֲנִים מִן־הַקֹּדֶשׁ כִּי כָּל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַנִּמְצְאִים הִתְקַדָּשׁוּ אֵין לִשְׁמֹור לְמַחְלְקֹות׃ (3665)

12Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)

וְהַלְוִיִּם הַמְשֹׁרֲרִים לְכֻלָּם לְאָסָף לְהֵימָן לִידֻתוּן וְלִבְנֵיהֶם וְלַאֲחֵיהֶם מְלֻבָּשִׁים בּוּץ בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם וּבִנְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרֹות עֹמְדִים מִזְרָח לַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְעִמָּהֶם כֹּהֲנִים לְמֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים [מַחְצְרִרִים כ] (מַחְצְרִים ק) בַּחֲצֹצְרֹות׃ (7401)

13It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

וַיְהִי כְאֶחָד [לַמַּחֲצֹצְרִים כ] (לַמְחַצְּרִים ק) וְלַמְשֹׁרֲרִים לְהַשְׁמִיעַ קֹול־אֶחָד לְהַלֵּל וּלְהֹדֹות לַיהוָה וּכְהָרִים קֹול בַּחֲצֹצְרֹות וּבִמְצִלְתַּיִם וּבִכְלֵי הַשִּׁיר וּבְהַלֵּל לַיהוָה כִּי טֹוב כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּו וְהַבַּיִת מָלֵא עָנָן בֵּית יְהוָה׃ (7118)

14So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים לַעֲמֹוד לְשָׁרֵת מִפְּנֵי הֶעָנָן כִּי־מָלֵא כְבֹוד־יְהוָה אֶת־בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים׃ (2731)
