19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord appeared in His temple. And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and great hail.
1 Now even the first [covenant] had ordinances of [divine] service and the earthly sanctuary.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first [part], in which [were] both the lampstand and the table and the showbread, which is called the holy place;
3 and after the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 having a golden altar, and the ark of the covenant having been overlaid on all sides with gold, in which [was] a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5 and above it [were] cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; concerning these things we cannot now speak in detail.
