Hebrews 9:5 Context
3And after the second vaile, the Tabernacle which is called þe Holiest of all: 4Which had the golden Censor, and the Arke of the Couenant ouerlayed round about with gold, wherein was the Golden pot that had Manna, and Aarons rod that budded, and the Tables of the Couenant. 5And ouer it the Cherubims of glory shadowing the Mercyseat; of which we cannot now speake particularly. 6Now when these things were thus ordained, the Priestes went alwayes into the first Tabernacle, accomplishing the seruice of God. 7But into the second went the high Priest alone once euery yeere, not without blood, which he offered for himselfe, and for the errors of the people.
