This was called the Holy Place. 3 Past the second veil in the Tabernacle was the room called the Most Holy Place. 4 This contained the golden altar of incense, the gold-covered "agreement chest."* Inside this were the golden pot containing manna, Aaron’s rod that had produced buds, and the stone inscriptions of the agreement.* 5 Above this were the glorious angel cherubim covering the place of reconciliation. We can’t discuss all of this in detail now.
