2 Crônicas 5 - Bíblia Online

Terminou então a construção do templo alomão trouxe para o seu interior os dons consagrados ao Senhor pelo seu pai, o rei David; foram arrumados nos tesouros do templo. 
Salomão convocou então para Jerusalém todos os líderes de Israel -os cabeças de tribos e de clãs- para a cerimónia de transferência da arca do tabernáculo que se encontrava na cidade de David (também conhecida por Sião) para a sua nova morada no templo. Esta celebração teve lugar no mês de Outubro, pela ocasião da festividade dos tabernáculos. Sob o olhar dos chefes de Israel, os levitas ergueram a arca e tiraram-na do tabernáculo, com todos os outros recipientes sagrados. O rei Salomão, assim como os outros, sacrificaram ovelhas e bois perante a arca, em tal quantidade que ninguém tentou sequer contar! 
Depois os sacerdotes levaram a arca para a sala interior do templo -o lugar santíssimo- e colocou-a sob as asas dos querubins; essas asas cobriam pois toda a arca e os seus varais. Estes últimos eram tão longos que podiam ser vistos do lado de fora da sala, ainda que não do exterior do edifício. A arca encontra-se ali ainda no dia de hoje. Nela havia as duas tábuas de pedra que Moisés lá colocara, no Monte Horebe, quando o Senhor fez uma aliança com o povo de Israel, ao tempo em que deixaram o Egipto. 
Depois de terem executado as cerimónias da sua própria purificação, os sacerdotes participaram todos nas cerimónias, sem preocupação com as funções de cada um. Os levitas davam louvores ao Senhor quando os sacerdotes saíam do lugar santíssimo! Como cantores havia Asafe, Hemã, Jedutum, mais todos os seus filhos e irmãos, vestidos com roupas tecidas com linho fino; mantinham-se no lado oriental do altar. Esse coro era acompanhado por cento e vinte sacerdotes tocando trombetas, enquanto outros tocavam címbalos, liras e harpas. Tanto a banda como o coro louvavam harmoniosamente e agradeciam ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre. As frases dos cantores eram acompanhadas e intercaladas com partes musicais, pelos instrumentos. O tema fundamental dessa acção de louvores era O Senhor é bom! A sua bondade é eterna!Nessa altura, a glória do Senhor, vindo como uma nuvem luminosa, encheu o templo, de tal forma que nem sequer os sacerdotes puderam continuar a ministrar. 

Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of Yahweh was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God. 
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion. 
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was [in] the seventh month. 
And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark; 
and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; the Levitical priests brought these up. 
And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude. 
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim. 
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above. 
And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there it is to this day. 
There was nothing in the ark but the two tables which Moses put [there] at Horeb, by which Yahweh made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 
And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses; 
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 psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets;) 
it came to pass, 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; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yahweh, 
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.
