1 The first covenant had rules for worship and a place made for worship as well. 2 *Ex 26.1-30;Ex 25.31-40;Ex 25.23-30A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God. 3 *Ex 26.31-33Behind the second curtain was the tent called the Most Holy Place. 4 *Ex 30.1-6;Ex 25.10-16;Ex 16.33;Nu 17.8-10;Ex 25.16;Dt 10.3-5In it were the gold altar for the burning of incense and the Covenant Box all covered with gold and containing the gold jar with the manna in it, Aaron’s stick that had sprouted leaves, and the two stone tablets with the commandments written on them. 5 *Ex 25.18-22Above the Box were the winged creatures representing God’s presence, with their wings spread over the place where sins were forgiven. But now is not the time to explain everything in detail.
