Holy of Holies

The Holy of Holies () or Devir () in the Bible refers to the inner sanctuary of the tabernacle, where the Shekhinah (called God's presence in Judaism, Christianity and Islam) used to appear. 

According to Hebrew tradition, four pillars that held up the veil of the covering, under which the Ark of the Covenant was held above the floor defined the Holiest. 

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Ark contained Ten Commandments, which God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai in Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

Successive tabernacles and temples in Jerusalem, Solomon's Temple and Second Temple, were said to have been built by the Jewish people to keep the Ark.
