The Two Golden Stands

Two golden stands were placed in the Kodesh near the curtain. During the service of Yom Kippur, the High Priest would sprinkle the blood of the bull inner sin-offering in the Holy of Holies and in front of the curtain. While the High Priest was performing the sprinkling of the blood of the goat inner sin-offering, he would place the vessel containing the blood of the bull on the stand, (and visa versa).
