Hebrews 9:3 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.

6 When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.

7 But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
