Ok moving on from the Courtyard and the Alter of Sacrifice and the Brazen wash basin we move into the first apartment of the Sanctuary called the HOLY PLACE.
EXODUS 26:33 [33], And you shall hang up the veil under the clasps, that you may bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil shall divide to you between the holy place and the most holy.
Moving into the Holy place from the Courtyard we have the Table of Show bread (Exodus 25:23-30; 26:35), then the Alter of Incense (Exodus 30:1-6) and the Seven Golden Candlesticks (Exodus 25:31-40; 26:35).

EXODUS 25:23-30 [23], You shall also make a table of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. [24], And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. [25], And you shall make to it a border of an hand breadth round about, and you shall make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. [26], And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. [27], Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table. [28], And you shall make the staves of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. [29], And you shall make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover with: of pure gold shall you make them. [30], And you shall set on the table show bread before me always.

JOHN 6:35; 49-50 [35], And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.
[49], Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. [50], This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
MATTHEW 26:26 [26], While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take and eat; this is my body.
LUKE 22:19-20, [19], And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. [20], Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

JOHN 3:19-21 [19], And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
