1 Kings 8:11
Hebrew Bible
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb. It was there that the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 10 Once the priests left the Holy Place, a cloud filled the Lord’s temple. 11 The priests could not carry out their duties because of the cloud; the Lord’s glory filled his temple. 12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he lives in thick darkness. 13 O Lord, truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”

1 Enoch 93:6
Pseudepigrapha
5 And after that, in the fourth week, at its close, visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, and a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them. 6 And after that, in the fifth week, at its close, the house of glory and dominion shall be built forever. 7 And after that, in the sixth week, all who live in it shall be blinded, and the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it, a man shall ascend; and at its close, the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire, and the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.
