Hebrews 9:1-5
New American Standard Bible
The Old and the New
9 Now even the first covenant had (A)regulations for divine worship and (B)the earthly sanctuary. 2 For (C)a [a]tabernacle was equipped, the [b]outer sanctuary, in which were (D)the lampstand, (E)the table, and (F)the [c]sacred bread; this is called the Holy Place. 3 Behind (G)the second veil there was a [d]tabernacle which is called the (H)Most Holy Place, 4 having a golden [e](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, (L)Aaron’s staff which budded, and (M)the tablets of the covenant; 5 and above it were the (N)cherubim of glory (O)overshadowing the [f]atoning cover; but about these things we cannot now speak in detail.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The First Covenant Allowed Entrance Into The Holy of Holies Once a Year
9 Now indeed, the first covenant also had regulations of service and the earthly Holy Place. 2 For the first[a] tabernacle was prepared[b]— in which were both the lampstand and the table, and the Presentation of the bread— which is called the Holies. 3 And behind the second curtain was the tabernacle being called the Holies of Holies, 4 having a golden altar-of-incense[c], and the ark[d] of the covenant having been covered on-all-sides with gold, in which was a golden jar having the manna and the rod of Aaron having budded and the tablets of the covenant, 5 and above it were the cherubim[e] of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat[f]— concerning which things there is not time now to be speaking in detail.
