Line 3:

The '''Most Holy Place''' also known as the '''Holiest of Holies''' is a ___location within the inner tabernacle of [[Moses]]. In the [[Bible]] it is referred to as the ''holiest of all'' (Hebrews 9:3), the ''most holy'' (Exodus 26:33), and the ''most holy place'' (Exodus 26:34).

It was a place where the [[high priest]] would go in, once a [[year]], on the [[Day of Atonement]], to sprinkle the blood of an animal upon the [[Ark of the Covenant]] and the [[mercy seat]] which sat on top of the ark. The animal was sacrificed on the [[Brazen Altar]] and the blood was carried into the most holy place. The golden [[censorcenser]]s were also found in the most holy place.

It is said to be the place where the presence of [[God]] dwelt. In the wilderness, on the day that the [[tabernacle]] was first raised up, the cloud of the Lord covered the tabernacle. There are other times that this was recorded, and instructions were given that the Lord would appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat, and at that time the priests should not enter into the tabernacle (Leviticus 16:2).
