2 For a tent was prepared: in the outer part were the menorah, the table, and the presentation of the bread—this is called the Holy Place.
3 Beyond the second curtain was a dwelling called the Holy of Holies.
4 It held a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant, completely covered with gold. In the ark was a golden jar holding the manna , Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant—
5 and above it, cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But it is not now possible to speak in detail about these things.
6 Now with these things prepared this way, the kohanim do continually enter into the outer tent while completing the services;
7 but into the inner, once a year, the kohen gadol alone— and not without blood which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people.
8 By this the Ruach ha-Kodesh makes clear that the way into the Holies has not yet been revealed while the first tent is still standing.
