1 THE first covenant had regulations of worship and its holy building in this world.
2 For a Tent was erected, in the first part of which were the lampstand and the table and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.
3 Behind the second curtain was the part called the Holy of Holies.
4 It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.
5 Above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of propitiation. Regarding these things it is not now possible to speak in detail.
