Hebrews 9:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 Israel's people made a special tent for God.[a] The first room in that tent was called the holy place. The special lampstand was in this room. The special table with the bread which they offered to God was there too.[b]
3 Behind a second curtain, there was a very special room. It was called the Most Holy Place. 4 The gold altar for incense was in there.[c] The Covenant Box was there too.[d] The box had gold on all its sides. Inside the box was the gold pot that contained the special food called manna.[e] The box also contained Aaron's stick that had grown leaves.[f] It also contained the two flat stones on which God had written the rules of his agreement with his people.
