Hebrews 9:2-7

2For there was 1a 2tabernacle prepared, the 3outer one, in which were 4the lampstand and 5the table and 6the 7sacred bread; this is called the holy place. 3Behind 8the second veil there was a 9tabernacle which is called the 10Holy of Holies, 4having a golden 11 12altar of incense and 13the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was 14a golden jar holding the manna, and 15Aaron’s rod which budded, and 16the tables of the covenant; 5and above it were the 17cherubim of glory 18overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

6Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests 19are continually entering the 20outer 21tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7but into 22the second, only 23the high priest enters 24once a year, 25not without taking blood, which he 26offers for himself and for the 27 28sins of the people committed in ignorance.
