Amplified Bible Help
9NOW EVEN the first covenant had its own rules {and} regulations for divine worship, and it had a sanctuary [but one] of this world.G3767G3303G4413G2192G2532G1345G2999G5037G2886G39 2For a tabernacle (tent) was erected, in the outer division {or} compartment of which were the lampstand and the table with [its loaves of] the showbread set forth. [This portion] is called the Holy Place.G1063G2680G4633G2680G4413G1722G3739G5037G3087G2532G5132G2532G4286G740G3748G3004G39 3But [inside] beyond the second curtain {or} veil, [there stood another] tabernacle [division] known as the Holy of Holies.G1161G3326G1208G2665G4633G3588G3004G39G39 4It had the golden altar of incense and the ark (chest) of the covenant, covered over with wrought gold. This [ark] contained a golden jar which held the manna and the rod of Aaron that sprouted and the [two stone] slabs of the covenant [bearing the Ten Commandments].G2192G5552G2369G2532G2787G1242G4028G3840G5553G1722G3739G5552G4713G2192G3131G2532G2G4464G985G2532G4109G1242 5Above [the ark] and overshadowing the mercy seat were the representations of the cherubim [winged creatures which were the symbols] of glory. We cannot now go into detail about these things.G1161G5231G846G5502G1391G2683G2435G4012G3739G3756G2076G3568G3004G2596G3313 6These arrangements having thus been made, the priests enter [habitually] into the outer division of the tabernacle in performance of their ritual acts of worship.G1161G5130G2680G3779G2680G2409G1524G1275G1519G3303G4413G4633G2005G2999 7But into the second [division of the tabernacle] none but the high priest goes, and he only once a year, and never without taking a sacrifice of blood with him, which he offers for himself and for the errors {and} sins of ignorance {and} thoughtlessness which the people have committed.G1161G1519G1208G749G3441G530G1763G3756G5565G129G3739G4374G5228G1438G2532G51G2992 8By this the Holy Spirit points out that the way into the [true Holy of] Holies is not yet thrown open as long as the former [the outer portion of the] tabernacle remains a recognized institution {and} is still standing,G40G4151G5124G1213G3598G39G5319G3380G5319G4413G4633G2192G2089G4714 9Seeing that that first [outer portion of the] tabernacle was a parable (a visible symbol or type or picture of the present age). In it gifts and sacrifices are offered, and yet are incapable of perfecting the conscience {or} of cleansing {and} renewing the inner man of the worshiper.G3748G3850G1519G2540G1764G2596G3739G4374G5037G1435G2532G2378G1410G3361G5048G3000G5048G2596G4893 10For [the ceremonies] deal only with clean and unclean meats and drinks and different washings, [mere] external rules {and} regulations for the body imposed to tide the worshipers over until the time of setting things straight [of reformation, of the complete new order when Christ, the Messiah, shall establish the reality of what these things foreshadow--a better covenant].G3440G1909G1033G2532G4188G2532G1313G909G2532G4561G1345G1945G3360G2540G1357 11But [that appointed time came] when Christ (the Messiah) appeared as a High Priest of the better things that have come {and} are to come. [Then] through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with [human] hands, that is, not a part of this material creation,G1161G5547G3854G749G18G3195G1223G3187G2532G5046G4633G3756G5499G5123G3756G5026G2937 12He went once for all into the [Holy of] Holies [of heaven], not by virtue of the blood of goats and calves [by which to make reconciliation between God and man], but His own blood, having found {and} secured a complete redemption (an everlasting release for us).G3761G1223G129G5131G2532G3448G1161G1223G2398G129G1525G2178G1519G39G2147G166G3085 13For if [the mere] sprinkling of unholy {and} defiled persons with blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a burnt heifer is sufficient for the purification of the body,G1063G1487G129G5022G2532G5131G2532G4700G1151G4472G2840G37G4314G2514G4561 14How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works {and} lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God?G4214G3123G2511G129G5547G3739G1223G166G4151G4374G1438G299G2316G2511G5216G4893G575G3498G2041G1519G3000G2198G2316 15[Christ, the Messiah] is therefore the Negotiator {and} Mediator of an [entirely] new agreement (testament, covenant), so that those who are called {and} offered it may receive the fulfillment of the promised everlasting inheritance--since a death has taken place which rescues {and} delivers {and} redeems them from the transgressions committed under the [old] first agreement.G2532G5124G1223G2076G3316G2537G1242G3704G1096G2288G1519G629G3847G1909G4413G1242G2564G2983G1860G166G2817 16For where there is a [last] will {and} testament involved, the death of the one who made it must be established,G1063G3699G1242G318G5342G2288G1303 17For a will {and} testament is valid and takes effect only at death, since it has no force {or} legal power as long as the one who made it is alive.G1063G1242G949G1909G3498G1893G2480G3379G2480G3379G3753G1303G2198 18So even the [old] first covenant (God's will) was not inaugurated {and} ratified {and} put in force without the shedding of blood.G3606G3761G4413G1457G5565G129 19For when every command of the Law had been read out by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of slain calves and goats, together with water and scarlet wool and with a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled both the Book (the roll of the Law and covenant) itself and all the people,G1063G5259G3475G2980G3956G1785G3956G2992G2596G3551G2983G129G3448G2532G5131G3326G5204G2532G2847G2053G2532G5301G4472G5037G975G846G2532G3956G2992 20Saying these words: This is the blood that seals {and} ratifies the agreement (the testament, the covenant) which God commanded [me to deliver to] you.G3004G5124G129G1242G3739G2316G1781G4314G5209 21And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the [sacred] vessels {and} appliances used in [divine] worship.G1161G3668G4472G129G2532G4633G2532G3956G4632G3009 22[In fact] under the Law almost everything is purified by means of blood, and without the shedding of blood there is neither release from sin {and} its guilt {nor} the remission of the due {and} merited punishment for sins.G2532G4975G3956G2511G2596G3551G2511G1722G129G2532G5565G130G1096G3756G859 23By such means, therefore, it was necessary for the [earthly] copies of the heavenly things to be purified, but the actual heavenly things themselves [required far] better {and} nobler sacrifices than these.G3767G318G5262G3303G1722G3772G2511G5125G1161G2032G846G2909G2378G3844G5025 24For Christ (the Messiah) has not entered into a sanctuary made with [human] hands, only a copy {and} pattern {and} type of the true one, but [He has entered] into heaven itself, now to appear in the [very] presence of God on our behalf.G1063G5547G1525G3756G1525G1519G39G5499G499G228G235G1519G3772G846G3568G1718G4383G2316G5228G2257 25Nor did He [enter into the heavenly sanctuary to] offer Himself regularly again and again, as the high priest enters the [Holy of] Holies every year with blood not his own.G3761G2443G4374G1438G4178G5618G749G1525G1519G39G2596G1763G1722G129G245 26For then would He often have had to suffer [over and over again] since the foundation of the world. But as it now is, He has once for all at the consummation {and} close of the ages appeared to put away {and} abolish sin by His sacrifice [of Himself].G1893G1163G846G4178G3958G575G2602G2889G1161G3568G530G1909G4930G165G5319G1519G115G266G1223G2378G846 27And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment,G2532G2596G3745G606G444G530G599G1161G3326G5124G2920 28Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself {and} bear as a burden the sins of many once {and} once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin {nor} to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for {and} expecting Him.G3779G5547G530G4374G1519G399G266G4183G553G846G3700G1537G1208G5565G266G1519G4991
