Hebrews 9:7-25

7but into 1the secondG1208, onlyG3441 2the highG749 priestG749 enters 3onceG530 a yearG1763, 4not withoutG5565 taking bloodG129, whichG3739 he 5offersG4374 for himselfG1438 and for the 67sinsG51 of the peopleG2992 committed in ignoranceG51. 88The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 is signifyingG1213 thisG3778, 9that the wayG3598 into the holyG40 placeG40 has not yetG3380 been disclosedG5319 while the 10outerG4413 tabernacleG4633 is stillG2089 standingG4714, 9whichG3748 is a symbolG3850 for the presentG1764 timeG2540. AccordinglyG2596 11bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 are offeredG4374 which 12cannotG1410G3361 makeG5048 the worshiperG3000 perfectG5048 in conscienceG4893, 10since they relate onlyG3440 to 13foodG1033 and 14drinkG4188 and variousG1313 15washingsG909, 16regulationsG1345 for the 17bodyG4561 imposedG1945 untilG3360 18a timeG2540 of reformationG1357.

11But when ChristG5547 appearedG3854 as a 19highG749 priestG749 of the 20goodG18 thingsG18 21to comeG1096, He entered throughG1223 22the greaterG3173 and moreG5046 perfectG5046 23tabernacleG4633, 24not madeG5499 with handsG5499, that is to say, 25not of thisG3778 creationG2937; 12and not throughG1223 26the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but 27throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, He 28enteredG1525 the holyG40 placeG40 29onceG2178 for allG2178, 30having obtainedG2147 31eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For ifG1487 32the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022 and 33the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840 sanctifyG37 for the 34cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 35the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 3637the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 38offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 39cleanseG2511 40your conscienceG4893 from 41deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 42the livingG2198 GodG2316?

15For thisG3778 reasonG1223 43He is the 44mediatorG3316 of a 45newG2537 covenantG1242, soG3704 that, since a deathG2288 has takenG1096 placeG1096 for the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were committed underG1909 the firstG4413 covenantG1242, thoseG3588 who have been 46calledG2564 may 47receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of 48the eternalG166 inheritanceG2817. 16For whereG3699 a 49covenantG1242 is, there must of necessityG318 50be the deathG2288 of the one who madeG1303 it. 17For a 51covenantG1242 is validG949 only when 52men are deadG3498, 53for it is neverG3379 in forceG2480 whileG3753 the one who madeG1303 it livesG2198. 18ThereforeG3606 evenG3761 the firstG4413 covenant was not inauguratedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. 19For when everyG3956 commandmentG1785 had been 54spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551, 55he tookG2983 the 56bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with 57waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 58the bookG975 itselfG846 and allG3956 the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “59ThisG3778 is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 commandedG1781 you.” 21And in the sameG3668 wayG3668 he 60sprinkledG4472 bothG2532 the 61tabernacleG4633 and allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 with the bloodG129. 22And accordingG2596 to the 62LawG3551, one may 63almostG4975 say, allG3956 thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, and 64withoutG5565 sheddingG130 of bloodG130 there is noG3756 forgivenessG859.

23ThereforeG3767 it was necessaryG318 for the 65copiesG5262 of the things in the heavensG3772 to be cleansedG2511 with theseG3778, but 66the heavenlyG2032 thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG3778. 24For ChristG5547 67did not enterG1525 a holyG40 placeG40 madeG5499 with handsG5499, a mere copyG499 of 68the trueG228 oneG228, but into 69heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 70to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 for us; 25norG3761 was it that He would offerG4374 HimselfG1438 oftenG4178, as 71the highG749 priestG749 entersG1525 72the holyG40 placeG40 73yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 that is not his ownG245.
