1 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.
3 Behind the second curtain was a tabernacle called the Holy of Holies,
4 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
