Hebrews 9:1-5

The Old Covenant

Now even the first covenant had ^arequirements of divine worship and ^bthe earthly sanctuary. 2 For there was ^aa tabernacle prepared: the first part, in which were ^bthe lampstand and ^cthe table and ^dthe ¹sacred bread, which is called the holy place. 3 And behind ^athe second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the ^bHoly of Holies, 4 having a golden ¹^aaltar of incense and ^bthe ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was ^ca golden jar holding the manna, and ^dAaron’s rod which budded, and ^ethe tablets of the covenant. 5 And above it were the ^acherubim of glory ^bovershadowing the ¹mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
