1
Now the first [covenant] also had regulations for ministry and an earthly sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:1 In-Context
1
Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.
2
A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.
3
Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,
4
which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
5
Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
