Hebrews 9:1-5 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. The first agreement had rules for worship and a place for worship here on earth.

2. This place was inside a tent. The first area in the tent was called the Holy Place. In the Holy Place were the lamp and the table with the special bread offered to God.

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

4. In the Most Holy Place was a golden altar for burning incense. And also there was the Box of the Agreement. The Box was covered with gold. Inside this Box was a golden jar of manna and Aaron’s rod—the rod that once grew leaves. Also in the Box were the flat stones with the Ten Commandments of the old agreement on them.

5. Above the Box were the Cherub angels that showed God’s glory. These Cherub angels were over the place of mercy. But we cannot say everything about this now.
