Hebrews 9:1-14

1NowG3767 evenG2532 the firstG4413 covenant hadG2192 1regulationsG1345 of divineG2999 worshipG2999 and 2the earthlyG2886 sanctuaryG40. 2For there was 3a 4tabernacleG4633 preparedG2680, the 5outerG4413 oneG4387, in whichG3739 were 6the lampstandG3087 and 7the tableG5132 and 8the 9sacredG4286 breadG740; thisG3748 is calledG3004 the holyG40 placeG40. 3BehindG3326 10the secondG1208 veilG2665 there was a 11tabernacleG4633 which is calledG3004 the 12HolyG40 of HoliesG40, 4havingG2192 a goldenG5552 13 14altarG2369 of incenseG2369 and 15the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 coveredG4028 on allG3840 sidesG3840 with goldG5553, in whichG3739 was 16a goldenG5552 jarG4713 holdingG2192 the mannaG3131, and 17Aaron’sG2 rodG4464 which buddedG985, and 18the tablesG4109 of the covenantG1242; 5and aboveG5231 it were the 19cherubimG5502 of gloryG1391 20overshadowingG2683 the mercyG2435 seatG2435; but of theseG3739 thingsG3739 we cannotG3756 nowG3568 speakG3004 in detailG3313.

6NowG1161 when theseG3778 thingsG3778 have been soG3779 preparedG2680, the priestsG2409 21are continuallyG1223 G3956 enteringG1524 the 22outerG4413 23tabernacleG4633 performingG2005 the divineG2999 worshipG2999, 7but into 24the secondG1208, onlyG3441 25the highG749 priestG749 enters 26onceG530 a yearG1763, 27not withoutG5565 taking bloodG129, whichG3739 he 28offersG4374 for himselfG1438 and for the 29 30sinsG51 of the peopleG2992 committed in ignoranceG51. 8 31The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 is signifyingG1213 thisG3778, 32that the wayG3598 into the holyG40 placeG40 has not yetG3380 been disclosedG5319 while the 33outerG4413 tabernacleG4633 is stillG2089 standingG4714, 9whichG3748 is a symbolG3850 for the presentG1764 timeG2540. AccordinglyG2596 34bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 are offeredG4374 which 35cannotG1410 G3361 makeG5048 the worshiperG3000 perfectG5048 in conscienceG4893, 10since they relate onlyG3440 to 36foodG1033 and 37drinkG4188 and variousG1313 38washingsG909, 39regulationsG1345 for the 40bodyG4561 imposedG1945 untilG3360 41a timeG2540 of reformationG1357.

11But when ChristG5547 appearedG3854 as a 42highG749 priestG749 of the 43goodG18 thingsG18 44to comeG1096, He entered throughG1223 45the greaterG3173 and moreG5046 perfectG5046 46tabernacleG4633, 47not madeG5499 with handsG5499, that is to say, 48not of thisG3778 creationG2937; 12and not throughG1223 49the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but 50throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, He 51enteredG1525 the holyG40 placeG40 52onceG2178 for allG2178, 53having obtainedG2147 54eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For ifG1487 55the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022 and 56the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840 sanctifyG37 for the 57cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 58the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 59 60the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 61offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 62cleanseG2511 63your conscienceG4893 from 64deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 65the livingG2198 GodG2316?
