TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:8 A special area was constructed at the extreme interior of the hall known as the Most Holy Place (the divine throne room). It might have been a sacred throne space within the long hall, or it might have been a secondary room within the main hall. The dimensions of the Most Holy Place were equally 30 feet (20 cubits) in all directions. It might have rested on an elevated platform, as did the shrines of other temples, and a space might have existed between the room and the roof. The Most Holy Place was prepared as a repository for the Ark, which contained the terms of the covenant.
