1 Now even the first covenant had its ordinances of public worship, and its sanctuary, a material one.
2 For a tent was built, the outer one called the Holy Place, in which were the lamp and the table and the loaves of the Presence;
3 and behind the second veil was the tent called the Holy of Holies.
4 In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aarons rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 while above it, overshadowing the mercy-seat, were the cherubim of glory. But I must not speak about these in detail.
