Hebrews 9:2-7

2For a tent was prepared, the outer one, which contained the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this is called the holy place.

3And after the second curtain there was a tent called the holy of holies.

4It contained the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered entirely with gold. In this ark were the golden urn containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

5And above the ark were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.

6So with these things prepared like this, the priests enter continually into the outer tent as they perform their duties.

7But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
