13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And (A)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

The Earthly Holy Place

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and (B)an earthly place of holiness. For (C)a tent[a] was prepared, the first section, in which were (D)the lampstand and (E)the table and (F)the bread of the Presence.[b] It is called the Holy Place. Behind (G)the second curtain was a second section[c] called the Most Holy Place, having the golden (H)altar of incense and (I)the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was (J)a golden urn holding the manna, and (K)Aaron's staff that budded, and (L)the tablets of the covenant.
