 3but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,
 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.

• "Justified" means that the believer has been cleared from every charge of sin that has been against him by being brought into a new position before God, whereby he is no longer viewed by God as a sinner. (“Deliverance From the Penalty of Sins: Romans 3:21-5:11” by B. Anstey)
