What does 2 Chronicles 5:9 mean?

The poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside. They’re still there to this day. 2 Chronicles 5:9 - Modern Text Bible

(The carrying poles stuck out far enough to be seen from inside the temple, a detail that shows the Ark’s real, physical presence.)
