1Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.
2For there was a tent prepared, the first, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.
3After the second veil, the tent which is called the Holy of Holies,
4having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron`s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can`t now speak in detail.
6Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tent, accomplishing the services,
7but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.
