THE HOLY OF HOLIES
The Holy of holies was the smaller of the two chambers of the taberna-
cle, wherein could be found the ark of the covenant.
The dimensions of the Holy of holies formed a perfect cube - 10 cu-
bits long, 10 cubits wide, and 10 cubits high. The two sides and the west end
were enclosed by boards of shittim wood overlaid with gold. The boards stood
upright, edge to edge, their lower ends being made to drop into sockets of sil-
ver, and the corner boards being coupled together at the top with rings. Each
board was furnished with rings on its outside, through which passed bars of
shittim wood, overlaid with gold, bracing the boards together.
A curtain embroidered with cherubim hung upon four pillars and thus
divided the Holy of holies from the Holy place. It was called the veil, as it
hid from the eyes of all but the high priest the inmost sanctuary, where Yah-
weh's name dwelt above the mercy seat. It was only passed by the high priest
once a year, on the Day of Atonement.
