Hebrews 9

1Now evenG2532 the firstG4413covenanthad ordinances of divine serviceG2999, and its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world. 2For there was a tabernacleG4633 preparedG2680, the firstG4413, wherein were the candlestick, and the tableG5132, and the showbread; which is called the HolyG40 place. 3And after the secondG1208 veilG2665, the tabernacleG4633 which is called the HolyG40 of holiesG40; 4having a goldenG5552 altar of incense, and the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 overlaid round about with goldG5553, wherein was a goldenG5552 pot holdingG2192 the mannaG3131, and Aaron’s rodG4464 that budded, and the tables of the covenantG1242; 5and above it cherubim of gloryG1391 overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which thingsG3739 we cannot nowG1161 speakG3004 severally. 6NowG1161 these thingsG3778 having been thusG3779 preparedG2680, the priestsG2409 go in continually into the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633, accomplishing the services; 7but into the secondG1208 the highG749 priestG749 aloneG3441, onceG530 in the yearG1763, not without bloodG129, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the peopleG2992: 8the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 this signifyingG1213, that the wayG3598 into the holyG40 place hath not yetG2089 been madeG5319 manifestG5319, while the firstG4413 tabernacleG4633 is yetG2089 standing; 9which is a figure for the timeG2540 presentG1764; accordingG2596 to which are offeredG4374 both giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 that cannot, as touching the conscienceG4893, makeG5048 the worshipper perfectG5048, 10being onlyG3440 (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a timeG2540 of reformation.

11But ChristG5547 having comeG1096 a highG749 priestG749 of the goodG18 thingsG3778 to comeG1096, through the greaterG3173 and more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, not made with handsG5499, that isG1510 to say, not of this creationG2937, 12nor yet through the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but through his ownG2398 bloodG129, enteredG1525 in onceG2178 for all into the holyG40 place, having obtained eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For if the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022, and the ashesG4700 of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiledG2840, sanctifyG37 unto the cleanness of the fleshG4561: 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 shall the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, who through the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himself without blemish unto GodG2316, cleanseG2511 your conscienceG4893 from deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? 15And for this cause he isG1510 the mediatorG3316 of a newG2537 covenantG1242, that a deathG2288 having taken placeG1096 for the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that wereG1510 under the firstG4413 covenantG1242, they that have beenG1510 calledG2564 may receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the eternalG166 inheritanceG2817. 16For whereG3699 a testament is, there must of necessityG318 be the deathG2288 of him that madeG1303 it. 17For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that madeG1303 it liveth. 18Wherefore evenG3761 the firstG4413 covenant hath not been dedicated without bloodG129. 19For when every commandmentG1785 had been spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 unto all the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkled both the bookG975 itself and all the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, This is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 which GodG2316 commandedG1781 to you-ward. 21Moreover the tabernacleG4633 and all the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 he sprinkled in like manner with the bloodG129. 22And accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, I may almostG4975 say, all thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, and apartG5565 from shedding of bloodG129 there is no remission.

23It was necessaryG318 thereforeG3767 that the copies of the thingsG3778 in the heavensG3772 should be cleansedG2511 with these; but the heavenlyG2032 thingsG3778 themselves with better sacrificesG2378 than these. 24For ChristG5547 enteredG1525 not into a holyG40 place made with handsG5499, like in pattern to the trueG228; but into heavenG3772 itself, nowG3568 to appear before the faceG4383 of GodG2316 for us: 25nor yet that he should offerG4374 himself oftenG4178, as the highG749 priestG749 entereth into the holyG40 place yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 not his ownG1438; 26else must he oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 since the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: but nowG1161 onceG530 at the end of the agesG165 hath he been manifestedG5319 to put awayG575 sinG266 by the sacrificeG2378 of himself. 27And inasmuch as it is appointed unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, and after this cometh judgmentG2920; 28so ChristG5547 alsoG2532, having been onceG530 offeredG4374 to bear the sinsG266 of manyG4183, shall appear a secondG1208 timeG1208, apartG5565 from sinG266, to them that wait for him, unto salvationG4991.
