- THE HOLY PLACE
-
- The Holy place was the larger of the two chambers of the tabernacle,
- wherein could be found the altar of incense, the table of shewbread, and the
- lampstand.
-
- Its length was 20 cubits, its width 10 cubits, and its height 10 cu-
- bits. The two sides to the north and to the south were made of boards of
- shittim wood, overlaid with gold. (For more detail concerning these boards see
- "The Holy of holies.")
-
- The entrance to the Holy place was closed with a covering like that of
- the outer court, supported by five pillars, covered with gold, while their
- "sockets" were of copper (Exodus 26:36,37; 36:37).
-
- The inside walls of both the Holy place and the Holy of holies were
- draped with woven cloth, upon which were embroidered cherubim (Exodus 26:1-6;
- 36:8-13).
