Hebrews 9:6-12

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 910sins of the people committed in ignorance. 811The 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.

11But when Christ appeared as a 22high priest of the 23good things 24to come, He entered through 25the greater and more perfect 26tabernacle, 27not made with hands, that is to say, 28not of this creation; 12and not through 29the blood of goats and calves, but 30through His own blood, He 31entered the holy place 32once for all, 33having obtained 34eternal redemption.
