 4having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;
 5and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now the time to speak in detail.

 7but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

 9the which is an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered,

Some MSS. and Edd. insert the article "o" (wrongly as it appears to me) before "temple." The last clause proves that it could not be correct Greek; and apart from this to make it not a predicate but reciprocal has no just sense.
