Old Covenant Ministry

9Now the first [covenant] also had regulations for ministry and an earthly sanctuary.G3767G3303G4413G2192G2532G1345G2999G5037G2886G39
2For a tabernacle was set up; and in the first room, which is called "the holy place," were the lampstand, the table, and the presentation loaves.G1063G2680G4633G2680G4413G1722G3739G5037G3087G2532G5132G2532G4286G740G3748G3004G39
3Behind the second curtain, the tabernacle was called "the holy of holies."G1161G3326G1208G2665G4633G3588G3004G39G39
4It contained the gold altar of incense and the ark of the covenant, covered with gold on all sides, in which there was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.G2192G5552G2369G2532G2787G1242G4028G3840G5553G1722G3739G5552G4713G2192G3131G2532G2G4464G985G2532G4109G1242
5The cherubim of glory were above it overshadowing the mercy seat. It is not possible to speak about these things in detail right now.G1161G5231G846G5502G1391G2683G2435G4012G3739G3756G2076G3568G3004G2596G3313
6These things having been set up this way, the priests enter the first room repeatedly, performing their ministry.G1161G5130G2680G3779G2680G2409G1524G1275G1519G3303G4413G4633G2005G2999
7But the high priest alone enters the second room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.G1161G1519G1208G749G3441G530G1763G3756G5565G129G3739G4374G5228G1438G2532G51G2992
8The Holy Spirit was making it clear that the way into the holy of holies had not yet been disclosed while the first tabernacle was still standing.G40G4151G5124G1213G3598G39G5319G3380G5319G4413G4633G2192G2089G4714
9This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper's conscience.G3748G3850G1519G2540G1764G2596G3739G4374G5037G1435G2532G2378G1410G3361G5048G3000G5048G2596G4893
10They are physical regulations and only deal with food, drink, and various washings imposed until the time of restoration.G3440G1909G1033G2532G4188G2532G1313G909G2532G4561G1345G1945G3360G2540G1357

New Covenant Ministry

11Now the Messiah has appeared, high priest of the good things that have come. In the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands (that is, not of this creation),G1161G5547G3854G749G18G3195G1223G3187G2532G5046G4633G3756G5499G5123G3756G5026G2937
12He entered the holy of holies once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.G3761G1223G129G5131G2532G3448G1161G1223G2398G129G1525G2178G1519G39G2147G166G3085
13For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who are defiled, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,G1063G1487G129G5022G2532G5131G2532G4700G1151G4472G2840G37G4314G2514G4561
14how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?G4214G3123G2511G129G5547G3739G1223G166G4151G4374G1438G299G2316G2511G5216G4893G575G3498G2041G1519G3000G2198G2316
15Therefore He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, because a death has taken place for redemption from the transgressions [committed] under the first covenant.G2532G5124G1223G2076G3316G2537G1242G3704G1096G2288G1519G629G3847G1909G4413G1242G2564G2983G1860G166G2817
16Where a will exists, the death of the testator must be established.G1063G3699G1242G318G5342G2288G1303
17For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in force while the testator is living.G1063G1242G949G1909G3498G1893G2480G3379G2480G3379G3753G1303G2198
18That is why even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.G3606G3761G4413G1457G5565G129
19For when every commandment had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll itself and all the people,G1063G5259G3475G2980G3956G1785G3956G2992G2596G3551G2983G129G3448G2532G5131G3326G5204G2532G2847G2053G2532G5301G4472G5037G975G846G2532G3956G2992
20saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.G3004G5124G129G1242G3739G2316G1781G4314G5209
21In the same way, he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of worship with blood.G1161G3668G4472G129G2532G4633G2532G3956G4632G3009
22According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.G2532G4975G3956G2511G2596G3551G2511G1722G129G2532G5565G130G1096G3756G859
23Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these [sacrifices], but the heavenly things themselves [to be purified] with better sacrifices than these.G3767G318G5262G3303G1722G3772G2511G5125G1161G2032G846G2909G2378G3844G5025
24For the Messiah did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model of the true one) but into heaven itself, that He might now appear in the presence of God for us.G1063G5547G1525G3756G1525G1519G39G5499G499G228G235G1519G3772G846G3568G1718G4383G2316G5228G2257
25He did not do this to offer Himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.G3761G2443G4374G1438G4178G5618G749G1525G1519G39G2596G1763G1722G129G245
26Otherwise, He would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of Himself.G1893G1163G846G4178G3958G575G2602G2889G1161G3568G530G1909G4930G165G5319G1519G115G266G1223G2378G846
27And just as it is appointed for people to die once— and after this, judgment—G2532G2596G3745G606G444G530G599G1161G3326G5124G2920
28so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.G3779G5547G530G4374G1519G399G266G4183G553G846G3700G1537G1208G5565G266G1519G4991
