'Outer' in the Bible

For a sacred tent was constructed--the outer one, in which were the lamp and the table and the presented loaves; and this is called the Holy place.

These arrangements having long been completed, the priests, when conducting the divine services, continually enter the outer tent.

And the lesson which the Holy Spirit teaches is this--that the way into the true Holy place is not yet open so long as the outer tent still remains in existence.
