NASB | Hebrews 9:4 having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 9:4 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]; [Ex 16:32-34; 30:1-6; Num 17:8-10] |
Bible Question: With reference to the NASB, how did the altar get into the Holy of Holies? |
Bible Answer: Hello Safe Harbour, If I might add to EdB's comments. On the Day of Atonement, which the Hebrews passage relates to, incense was taken into the Holy of Holies and burned there. Leviticus 16:12-13 (ESV) And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil [13] and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die. Adolph Saphir in his book on Hebrews says that the golden altar of Heb 9 is actually the censer of Lev 16. Steve |
