9Now even the first [covenant] had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.G3767G3303G4413G2192G2532G1345G2999G5037G2886G392For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which [were] the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.G1063G2680G4633G2680G4413G1722G3739G5037G3087G2532G5132G2532G4286G740G3748G3004G393And behind the second veil, there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,G1161G3326G1208G2665G4633G3588G3004G39G394having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which [was] a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant.G2192G5552G2369G2532G2787G1242G4028G3840G5553G1722G3739G5552G4713G2192G3131G2532G2G4464G985G2532G4109G12425And above it [were] the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.G1161G5231G846G5502G1391G2683G2435G4012G3739G3756G2076G3568G3004G2596G33136Now when these things have been thus prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle, performing the divine worship,G1161G5130G2680G3779G2680G2409G1524G1275G1519G3303G4413G4633G2005G29997but into the second only the high priest [enters], once a year, not without [taking] blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.G1161G1519G1208G749G3441G530G1763G3756G5565G129G3739G4374G5228G1438G2532G51G29928The Holy Spirit [is] signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed, while the outer tabernacle is still standing,G40G4151G5124G1213G3598G39G5319G3380G5319G4413G4633G2192G2089G47149which [is] a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,G3748G3850G1519G2540G1764G2596G3739G4374G5037G1435G2532G2378G1410G3361G5048G3000G5048G2596G489310since they [relate] only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.G3440G1909G1033G2532G4188G2532G1313G909G2532G4561G1345G1945G3360G2540G135711But when Christ appeared [as] a high priest of the good things to come, [He entered] through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;G1161G5547G3854G749G18G3195G1223G3187G2532G5046G4633G3756G5499G5123G3756G5026G293712and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.G3761G1223G129G5131G2532G3448G1161G1223G2398G129G1525G2178G1519G39G2147G166G308513For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,G1063G1487G129G5022G2532G5131G2532G4700G1151G4472G2840G37G4314G2514G456114how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?G4214G3123G2511G129G5547G3739G1223G166G4151G4374G1438G299G2316G2511G5216G4893G575G3498G2041G1519G3000G2198G231615And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were [committed] under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.G2532G5124G1223G2076G3316G2537G1242G3704G1096G2288G1519G629G3847G1909G4413G1242G2564G2983G1860G166G281716For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.G1063G3699G1242G318G5342G2288G130317For a covenant is valid [only] when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.G1063G1242G949G1909G3498G1893G2480G3379G2480G3379G3753G1303G219818Therefore even the first [covenant] was not inaugurated without blood.G3606G3761G4413G1457G5565G12919For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,G1063G5259G3475G2980G3956G1785G3956G2992G2596G3551G2983G129G3448G2532G5131G3326G5204G2532G2847G2053G2532G5301G4472G5037G975G846G2532G3956G299220saying, "THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."G3004G5124G129G1242G3739G2316G1781G4314G520921And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.G1161G3668G4472G129G2532G4633G2532G3956G4632G300922And according to the Law, [one may] almost [say], all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.G2532G4975G3956G2511G2596G3551G2511G1722G129G2532G5565G130G1096G3756G85923Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.G3767G318G5262G3303G1722G3772G2511G5125G1161G2032G846G2909G2378G3844G502524For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a [mere] copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;G1063G5547G1525G3756G1525G1519G39G5499G499G228G235G1519G3772G846G3568G1718G4383G2316G5228G225725nor was it that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.G3761G2443G4374G1438G4178G5618G749G1525G1519G39G2596G1763G1722G129G24526Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.G1893G1163G846G4178G3958G575G2602G2889G1161G3568G530G1909G4930G165G5319G1519G115G266G1223G2378G84627And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this [ comes] judgment,G2532G2596G3745G606G444G530G599G1161G3326G5124G292028so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without [reference to] sin, to those who eagerly await Him.G3779G5547G530G4374G1519G399G266G4183G553G846G3700G1537G1208G5565G266G1519G4991
