In its first room were the lampstand(E) and the table(F) with its consecrated bread;(G) this was called the Holy Place.(H) Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,(I) which had the golden altar of incense(J) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.(K) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,(L) Aaron’s staff that had budded,(M) and the stone tablets of the covenant.(N)
