1 So then the first covenant had regulations for the priests’ service and the holy place on earth.
2 They pitched the first tent called the holy place. It contained the lampstand, the table, and the loaves of bread presented to God.
3 There was a tent behind the second curtain called the holy of holies.
4 It had the gold altar for incense and the chest containing the covenant, which was covered with gold on all sides. In the chest there was a gold jar containing manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
