1 The first covenant had ordinances for divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

2 A tabernacle was set up. The first room was called »the Holy Place.« It contained the lamp stand and table and the consecrated bread.

3 Beyond the second curtain was a room called »the Most Holy Place.«

4 It had a golden incense burner. The Ark of the Covenant was completely covered with gold. It contained the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant.

5 The cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat were above the Ark. Now is not the time to speak in detail.
