Hebrews 9:6-10

6Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests 1are continually entering the 2outer 3tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7but into 4the second, only 5the high priest enters 6once a year, 7not without taking blood, which he 8offers for himself and for the 9 10sins of the people committed in ignorance. 8 11The Holy Spirit is signifying this, 12that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the 13outer tabernacle is still standing, 9which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly 14both gifts and sacrifices are offered which 15cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10since they relate only to 16food and 17drink and various 18washings, 19regulations for the 20body imposed until 21a time of reformation.
