The Earthly Sanctuary

1 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and athe earthly sanctuary.  
2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the1 sanctuary;  
3 aand behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,  
4 which had the agolden censer and bthe ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were cthe golden pot that had the manna, dAaron’s rod that budded, and ethe tablets of the covenant;  
5 and aabove it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

Hebrews 9:1-3

In Hebrews 9:1-3, the apostle is describing the tabernacle (Not the temple, but the tabernacle.) and the furniture that is within it. He is making a point; and he felt it necessary to use the symbolic value of each one of these things to make the point.

So, the subject is the service (the ritual that went on); but the focus, though, is on the sanctuary. He points out that it was earthy. It was material, mundane—in contrast to something else.

He is saying that this tabernacle had two rooms. The first room had in it this furniture: a lampstand, a table, and the showbread.

So we have this holy place, and we have the Most Holy Place. That is, two rooms, separated by a curtain.
