^{1 Ref} It had, indeed, then (even the first tabernacle) ordinances of service, also a worldly sanctuary,

^{2 Ref} for a tabernacle was prepared, the first, in which was both the lamp-stand, and the table, and the bread of the presence -- which is called `Holy;'

^{3 Ref} and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called `Holy of holies,'

^{4 Ref} having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all round about with gold, in which `is' the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of the covenant,

^{5 Ref} and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly.

^{6 Ref} And these things having been thus prepared, into the first tabernacle, indeed, at all times the priests do go in, performing the services,

^{1 Ref} Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

^{2 Ref} For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

^{3 Ref} And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

^{4 Ref} Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

^{5 Ref} And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

^{6 Ref} Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

^{1 Ref} Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

^{2 Ref} For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

^{3 Ref} And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

^{4 Ref} Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

^{5 Ref} And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

^{6 Ref} Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
