 4having a golden censer and the ark of the covenant covered round everywhere with gold, in which [were] a golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant,
 5and above over it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which things it is not now [opportune] to speak in detail.

 7but into the second the high priest alone once the year, not apart from blood, which he offereth for himself and for the errors of the people:
 8the Holy Spirit showing this that the way of the holies hath not yet been manifested, while yet the first tabernacle hath a standing:
 9the which [is] a parable for the time present, according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, unable as to conscience to perfect the worshipper,

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.
