Verse 11 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Chronicles. The Most Holy Place receives special attention and is covered with gold. The cherubim extend over the space associated with the ark, symbolically emphasizing the majesty and holiness of God. The design does not attempt to represent God through an image but uses architecture and symbols to express the invisible reality of his presence.
