Hebrews:9:1-10

*
Truly ,
then ,
the first tabernacle also had ordinances of service ,
and the earthly holy place .
*
For the first tabernacle was prepared ,
in which was both the lampstand and the table ,
and the setting out of the loaves ,
which is called holy .
*
But behind the second veil is a tabernacle ,
that called Holy of Holies ,
*
having a golden altar of incense ,
and the ark of the covenant covered around on all sides with gold ,
in which was the golden pot having the manna ,
and Aaron '
s rod that budded ,
and the tablets of the covenant ;
*
and above it the cherubs of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat (
about which now is not time to speak piece by piece ).
*
And these having been prepared thus ,
the priests go into the first tabernacle through all ,
completing the services .
*
But into the second the high priest goes alone once in the year ,
not without blood ,
which he offers for himself and the ignorances of the people ;
*
the Holy Spirit signifying by this that the way of the Holies has not yet been made manifest ,
the first tabernacle still having standing ;
*
which was a parable for the present time ,
according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered ,
but as regards conscience ,
not being able to perfect the one serving ,
*
but only on foods and drinks ,
and various washings ,
and fleshly ordinances ,
until the time of setting things right has been imposed .
