Hebrews 9:1-7 (New Revised Standard)
1
Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
2
For a tent a was constructed, the first one, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the Presence; b this is called the Holy Place.
3
Behind the second curtain was a tent c called the Holy of Holies.
4
In it stood the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which there were a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5
above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. d Of these things we cannot speak now in detail.
6
Such preparations having been made, the priests go continually into the first tent e to carry out their ritual duties;
7
but only the high priest goes into the second, and he but once a year, and not without taking the blood that he offers for himself and for the sins committed unintentionally by the people.
