Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
The use made of the sanctuary by the high priest on the anniversary of atonement. The tabernacle is described according to the original design, not as the temple of Herod, its continuation, actually was.
Ordained - arranged.
Went - `enter,' present.
Always - twice every day, for the morning and evening care of the lamps and offering of incense (Exodus 30:7-8).
