the latin vulgate bible translates "qṓḏeš haqqŏḏāšîm" as sanctum sanctorum (ex 26:34). reproducing in latin the hebrew construction, the expression is used as a superlative of the neuter adjective "sanctum", to mean "a thing most holy". it is used by roman catholics to refer to holy objects beyond the holy of holies, and is specifically often used as an alternative name for a tabernacle, due to the object being a storage chamber for consecrated host and thus where the presence of god is most represented.
