7And the priests brought in the Ark of the covenant of our Lord into his place, that is, to the oraculum: not a soothsayer but the inner sanctuary, the holy of holies of the temple, into Sancta sanctorum under the wings of the cherubs:And the priestes brought in the Arke of the couenant of our Lord into his place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into Sancta sanctorum vnder the winges of the cherubs:Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim :
