And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,
And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
It came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
When the priests were come out - That is, after having carried the ark into the holy of holies, before any sacred service had yet commenced.
The cloud - the visible symbol of the divine presence - the Shechinah of the Targums - which halt been promised before the ark was begun Exodus 29:43, and had filled the tabernacle as soon as it was completed Exodus 40:34, and which had probably been seen from time to time during the long interval when we have no express mention of it, now once more appeared in full magnificence, and took, as it were, possession of the building which Solomon was dedicating. The presence of God in the temple henceforth was thus assured to the Jews, and His approval of all that Solomon had done was signified.
8:10 The cloud - The usual token of God's glorious presence.Filled - In testimony of his gracious acceptance of this work, and theirservice; and to beget an awe and reverence in them, and in all others,when they approach to God.
