Hebrews 9:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ Behind the second curtain was a tent^[a] called the Holy of Holies. ⁴ In it stood the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which there were a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; ⁵ above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat.^[b] Of these things we cannot speak now in detail.
