Hebrews 9:2-8 For a tent was erected, with the lamp and the table and the presentation bread in the outer part, which was called the sanctuary.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ² For a tent was erected, with the lamp and the table and the presentation bread in the outer part, which was called the sanctuary. ³ And beyond the second curtain, in the part called the inner sanctuary, ⁴ stood the gold incense-altar and the chest that contained the agreement, entirely covered with gold, with the gold jar in it that held the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets containing the agreement; ⁵ and above the chest were the winged creatures of the Divine Presence overshadowing the lid on which the blood was sprinkled—of which I cannot now speak in detail. ⁶ With these arrangements for worship, the priests used constantly to go into the outer part of the tent, in the performance of their rites, ⁷ but only the high priest could enter the inner part, and he but once a year, and never without taking some victim's blood, to offer on his own behalf and for the sins committed through ignorance by the people. ⁸ In all this the holy Spirit was seeking to show that there was no free access to the sanctuary while the outer tent was still standing.
