The Old Covenant
9 Now even the first covenant had (A)requirements of divine worship and (B)the earthly sanctuary. 2 For there was (C)a tabernacle prepared: the first part, in which were (D)the lampstand and (E)the table and (F)the [a]sacred bread, which is called the holy place. 3 And behind (G)the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the (H)Holy of Holies, 4 having a golden [b](I)altar of incense and (J)the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was (K)a golden jar holding the manna, and (L)Aaron’s rod which budded, and (M)the tablets of the covenant. 5 And above it were the (N)cherubim of glory (O)overshadowing the [c]mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

International Standard Version
The Earthly Sanctuary and Its Ritual
9 Now even the first covenant[a] had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. 2 For a tent was set up, and in the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the bread of the Presence.[b] This was called the Holy Place. 3 Behind the second curtain was the part of the tent called the Most Holy Place, 4 which had the gold altar for incense and the Ark of the Covenant completely covered with gold. In it were the gold jar holding the manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the Tablets of the Covenant. 5 Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of atonement. (We cannot discuss these things in detail now.)
