Hebrews 9:1-10 - The Earthly Ministry Of The Old Covenant
1 Then indeed the first tabernacle also, had ordinances of service, and a sanctuary for this world. 2 For the first tabernacle was made; in which there were candlesticks, and the table, and shew-bread; which is called, Holy. 3 And after the second veil, was the tabernacle called Holy of holies; 4 having the golden altar, and the ark of the covenant overladen on all sides with gold, in which was the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 and above this was the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; concerning which things it is not pertinent to speak specifically.
6 And these having been thus adjusted, the priests come continually into the first tabernacle, performing the services: 7 and into the second comes the high priest alone once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and the errors of the people; 8 the Holy Spirit showing this, the way of the holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle yet standing: 9 which is a figure unto the present time, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered, not being able to make the worshiper perfect, as to his conscience; 10 consisting only in meats and drinks, and divers baptisms, ordinances of the flesh, abiding until the time of restitution.
