Hebrews 9:3-5
Amplified Bible
3 Behind the second veil there was another tabernacle [the inner one or second section] known as the Holy of Holies,(A) 4 [a]having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered entirely with gold. This contained a golden jar which held the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the [two stone] tablets of the covenant [inscribed with the Ten Commandments];(B) 5 and above the ark were the [golden] cherubim of glory overshadowing [b]the mercy seat; but we cannot now go into detail about these things.

- Hebrews 9:4 The Greek participle translated “having” probably conveys the notion of “associated with it” and hence refers to the fact that the altar of incense, although located in the Holy Place according to Ex 30:6, here does not refer to location but to use, given the fact that the incense wafted behind the veil into the Holy of Holies.
- Hebrews 9:5 I.e. the lid of the ark where blood was sprinkled by the high priest.
