"And over the ark were the Cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory. There is not enough time to speak about each of these things."
— Hebrews 9:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.”
“and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally. ”
“and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't speak now in detail.”
“And above the ark were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.”
“And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.”
“And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.”
“And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.”
For a tabernacle was made at first, in which were the lampstand, and the table, and the bread of the Presence, which is called Holy.
Then, beyond the second veil, was the tabernacle, which is called the Holy of Holies,
having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament, covered all around and on every part with gold, in which was a golden urn containing manna, and the rod of Aaron which had blossomed, and the tablets of the testament.
And over the ark were the Cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory. There is not enough time to speak about each of these things.
Yet truly, once such things were placed together, in the first part of the tabernacle, the priests were, indeed, continually entering, so as to carry out the duties of the sacrifices.
But into the second part, once a year, the high priest alone entered, not without blood, which he offered on behalf of the neglectful offenses of himself and of the people.
In this way, the Holy Spirit is signifying that the way to what is most holy was not yet made manifest, not while the first tabernacle was still standing.
