1 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.
3 Behind the second curtain was a tabernacle called the Holy of Holies,
4 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
