Hebrews 9:2-8
For a tabernacle was set up, and in the first room, which is called the holy place, were the lampstand, the table, and the presentation loaves.Behind the second curtain, the tabernacle was called the most holy place.It contained the gold altar of incense and the ark of the covenant, covered with gold on all sides, in which there was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.The cherubim of glory were above it overshadowing the mercy seat. It is not possible to speak about these things in detail right now.With these things set up this way, the priests enter the first room repeatedly, performing their ministry.But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.The Holy Spirit was making it clear that the way into the most holy place had not yet been disclosed while the first tabernacle was still standing.

He burned it at the Kidron Valley, beat it to dust, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.
