And verily the first covenant also had ordinances of worship and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, in which was the candlestick, and the table, and the shew-bread; which is called The holy place. And after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called The holy of holies, read more.
Having the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot having the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant: And over it were the Cherubim of glory, shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. Now these things being thus prepared, the priests go always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing their services. But into the second, only the high-priest once a year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself and the errors of the people: The Holy Ghost evidently shewing this, that the way into the holiest was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was still subsisting, Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, which could not perfect the worshiper as to his conscience, Only with meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed till the time of reformation. But Christ being come, an high-priest of good things to come, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building, And not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
