Hebrews 9:1-6 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
Now in that first covenant between God and Israel, there were regulations for worship and a sacred tent here on earth.
2
There were two rooms in this tent. In the first room were a lampstand, a table, and loaves of holy bread on the table. This was called the Holy Place.
3
Then there was a curtain, and behind the curtain was the second room called the Most Holy Place.
4
In that room were a gold incense altar and a wooden chest called the Ark of the Covenant, which was covered with gold on all sides. Inside the Ark were a gold jar containing some manna, Aaron's staff that sprouted leaves, and the stone tablets of the covenant with the Ten Commandments written on them.
5
The glorious cherubim were above the Ark. Their wings were stretched out over the Ark's cover, the place of atonement. But we cannot explain all of these things now.
6
When these things were all in place, the priests went in and out of the first room a regularly as they performed their religious duties.
