The Holy of Holies is a term in the Hebrew Bible which refers to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle where God's presence appeared. According to Hebrew Tradition, the area was defined by four pillars which held up the veil of the covering, under which the Ark of the Covenant was held above the floor; the Ark according to Hebrew Scripture contained the Ten Commandments, which were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. King Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem; the Crusaders associated it with the Well of Souls, located under the Foundation Stone of the Dome of the Rock. The construction "Holy of Holies" is a literal translation of a Hebrew idiom, intended to express a superlative. Examples of similar constructions are "servant of servants", "Sabbath of sabbaths", "God of gods", "Vanity of vanities", "Song of songs", "king of kings", etc. In the Authorized King James Version, "Holy of Holies" is always translated as "Most Holy Place"; this is in keeping with the intention of the Hebrew idiom to express the utmost degree of holiness.

The King James Version of the Bible has been in existence for over four hundred years. For most of that time, it was a primary reference in much of the English speaking world for information about Judaism. Thus, the name "Most Holy Place" was used to refer to the "Holy of Holies" in many English documents. A related term is the debir transliterated in the Septuagint (the Greek translation as dabir, which either means the back part of the Sanctuary, or derives from the verb stem D-V-R, "to speak", justifying the translation in the Latin Vulgate as oraculum, from which the traditional English translation "oracle" derives. According to the Hebrew Bible, in order that God may dwell among the Israelites, God gave Moses instructions for erecting a sanctuary; the directions provide for: A wooden ark, gilded inside and outside, for the Tablets of the Covenant, with a pure gold cover as the "mercy seat" for the Divine Presence. According to the Bible, the Holy of Holies was covered by a veil, no one was allowed to enter except the High Priest, he would only enter once a year on Yom Kippur, to offer the blood of sacrifice and incense.

The Bible reports that 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, instructions were given that the Lord would appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat, at that time the priests should not enter into the tabernacle. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Holy of Holies contained the Ark of the Covenant with representation of Cherubim. Upon completion of the dedication of the Tabernacle, the Voice of God spoke to Moses "from between the Cherubim"; the Holy of Holies, the most sacred site in Judaism, is the inner sanctuary within the Tabernacle and Temple in Jerusalem when Solomon's Temple and the Second Temple were standing. A brocade curtain, made with cherubim motifs woven directly into the fabric from the loom, divided the Holy of Holies from the lesser Holy place; the Holy of Holies was located in the westernmost end of the Temple building, being a perfect cube: 20 cubits by 20 cubits by 20 cubits.

The inside was in total darkness and contained the Ark of the Covenant, gilded inside and out, in, placed the Tablets of the Covenant. According to both Jewish and Christian tradition, Aaron's rod and a pot of manna were in the ark; the Ark was covered with a lid made of pure gold, known as the "mercy seat", covered by the beaten gold cherubim wings, creating the space for the Divine Presence. When the Temple was rebuilt after the Babylonian captivity, the Ark was no longer present in the Holy of Holies. In Jewish tradition, two curtains separated the Holy of Holies from the lesser Holy place during the period of the Second Temple; these curtains were woven with motifs directly from the loom, rather than embroidered, each curtain had the thickness of a handbreadth. Josephus records that Pompey profaned the Temple by insisting on entering the Holy of Holies in 63 BCE; when Titus captured the city during the Great Revolt, Roman soldiers took down the curtain and used it to wrap therein golden vessels retrieved from the Temple.

The Holy of Holies was entered once a year by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement, to sprinkle the blood of sacrificial animals and offer incense upon the Ark of the Covenant and the mercy seat which sat on top of the ark in the First Temple. The animal was

Nevada's 2nd congressional district is a congressional district that includes the northern third of the state. It includes most of Lyon County, all of Churchill, Elko, Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe counties, as well as the state capital, Carson City; the largest city in the district is the state's third largest city. Although the district appears rural, its politics are dominated by Carson City; as of 2017, over 460,000 people reside in Washoe County alone, totaling about two-thirds of the district's population. The district was created after the 1980 Census, when Nevada was split into districts for the first time. From until 2013, it occupied all of the state outside of Clark County. From 1993 to 2013, it included the far northern portion of Clark County; until 2013, it was the third-largest congressional district by land area that did not cover an entire state. Though it lost much of its southern portion to the new 4th District after the 2010 census, it is still the fifth-largest district in the nation that does not cover an entire state.

Population estimates indicate. As of 2015 the district is underpopulated by 15,000. A possible second district based on the 2017 population estimates would cover all of the state outside Clark and Nye counties, but 248 residents. Population projections indicates that after the 2020 census the district can encompass all of the state outside Clark and Nye; the 2nd has had a heavy Republican lean. It has been represented by only four people since all Republicans. Democrats have only made four serious bids for the seat. In presidential elections, the district has voted Republican. However, in the 2008 election John McCain earned only 88 votes more than Barack Obama in the district. Former state Senator Mark Amodei has held the seat since 2011 after he won the special election to replace Dean Heller, appointed to the United States Senate following the resignation of John Ensign. On April 21, 2011, U. S. Senator John Ensign, plagued by scandal and facing an inquiry by the Senate Ethics Committee, announced his resignation effective May 3.

On April 27, Governor Brian Sandoval announced he would appoint Dean Heller, the 2nd district's third-term congressman, to fill out Ensign's term in the Senate. Heller had planned to run for the seat after Ensign announced a month earlier that he would not run for a third term. To fill the vacancy created by Heller's resignation on May 9, Sandoval was required to call a special election to be held within six months of the occurrence of the vacancy. A special election was held on September 13, 2011. Former Republican state senator Mark Amodei defeated Democratic State Treasurer Kate Marshall. Election results from presidential races As of January 2019, there are two living former members; the most recent representative to die was Barbara Vucanovich on June 10, 2013.
