Hebrews 9:1 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 9.

1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.

2 A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.

3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,

4 containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

5 Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
