The Old and the New

1NowG3767 evenG2532 the firstG4413 covenant hadG2192 1regulationsG1345 for divineG2999 worshipG2999 and 2the earthlyG2886 sanctuaryG40. 2For 3a 4tabernacleG4633 was equippedG2680, the 5outerG4413 sanctuary, in whichG3739 were 6the lampstandG3087, 7the tableG5132, and 8the 9sacredG4286 breadG740; thisG3748 is calledG3004 the HolyG40 PlaceG40. 3BehindG3326 10the secondG1208 veilG2665 there was a 11tabernacleG4633 which is calledG3004 the 12MostG40 HolyG40 PlaceG40, 4havingG2192 a goldenG5552 1314altarG2369 ofG2369 incenseG2369 and 15the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 coveredG4028 on allG3840 sidesG3840 with goldG5553, in whichG3739 was 16a goldenG5552 jarG4713 holdingG2192 the mannaG3131, 17Aaron’sG2 staffG4464 which buddedG985, and 18the tabletsG4109 of the covenantG1242; 5and aboveG5231 it were the 19cherubimG5502 of gloryG1391 20overshadowingG2683 the 21atoningG2435 coverG2435; but aboutG4012 theseG3739 thingsG3739 we cannotG3756 nowG3568 speakG3004 in detailG3313.

6NowG1161 when theseG3778 thingsG3778 have been soG3779 preparedG2680, the priestsG2409 22are continuallyG1223G3956 enteringG1524 the 23outerG4413 24tabernacleG4633, performingG2005 the divineG2999 worshipG2999, 7but into 25the secondG1208, onlyG3441 26the highG749 priestG749 enters 27onceG530 a yearG1763, 28not withoutG5565 taking bloodG129 whichG3739 he 29offersG4374 for himselfG1438 and for the 3031sinsG51 of the peopleG2992 committedG51 inG51 ignoranceG51. 832The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 is signifyingG1213 thisG3778, 33that the wayG3598 into the holyG40 placeG40 has not yetG3380 been disclosedG5319 while the 34outerG4413 tabernacleG4633 is stillG2089 standingG4714, 9whichG3748 is a symbolG3850 for the presentG1764 timeG2540. AccordinglyG2596 35bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 are offeredG4374 which 36cannotG1410G3361 makeG5048 the worshiperG3000 perfectG5048 in conscienceG4893, 10since they relate onlyG3440 to 37foodG1033, 38drinkG4188, and variousG1313 39washingsG909, 40regulationsG1345 for the 41bodyG4561 imposedG1945 untilG3360 42a timeG2540 of reformationG1357.

11But when ChristG5547 appearedG3854 as a 43highG749 priestG749 of the 44goodG18 thingsG18 45having comeG1096, He entered throughG1223 46the greaterG3173 and moreG5046 perfectG5046 47tabernacleG4633, 48not madeG5499 byG5499 handsG5499, that is, 49not of thisG3778 creationG2937; 12and not throughG1223 50the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but 51throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, He 52enteredG1525 the holyG40 placeG40 53onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time, 54having obtainedG2147 55eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For ifG1487 56the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022, and 57the 58ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840, sanctifyG37 for the 59cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 60the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 6162the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 63offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 64cleanseG2511 your conscienceG4893 from 65deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 66the livingG2198 GodG2316?

15For thisG3778 reasonG1223 67He is the 68mediatorG3316 of a 69newG2537 covenantG1242, soG3704 thatG3704, since a deathG2288 has takenG1096 placeG1096 for the redemptionG629 of the violationsG3847 that were committed underG1909 the firstG4413 covenantG1242, thoseG3588 who have been 70calledG2564 may 71receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of 72the eternalG166 inheritanceG2817. 16For whereG3699 there is a 73covenantG1242, there must of necessityG318 74be the deathG2288 of the one who madeG1303 it. 17For a 75covenantG1242 is validG949 only when people are deadG3498, 76for it is neverG3379 inG2480 forceG2480 whileG3753 the one who madeG1303 it livesG2198. 18ThereforeG3606 evenG3761 the firstG4413 covenant was not inauguratedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. 19For when everyG3956 commandmentG1785 had been 77spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551, 78he tookG2983 the 79bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with 80waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 81the bookG975 itselfG846 and allG3956 the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “82ThisG3778 is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 commandedG1781 you.” 21And in the sameG3668 wayG3668 he 83sprinkledG4472 bothG2532 the 84tabernacleG4633 and allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 with the bloodG129. 22And 85almostG4975 allG3956 thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, accordingG2596 to the LawG3551, and 86withoutG5565 the sheddingG130 ofG130 bloodG130 there is noG3756 forgivenessG859.

23ThereforeG3767 it was necessaryG318 for the 87copiesG5262 of the things in the heavensG3772 to be cleansedG2511 with theseG3778 thingsG3778, but 88the heavenlyG2032 thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG3778. 24For ChristG5547 89did not enterG1525 a holyG40 placeG40 madeG5499 byG5499 handsG5499, a mere copyG499 of 90the trueG228 oneG228, but into 91heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 92to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 for us; 25norG3761 was it that He would offerG4374 HimselfG1438 oftenG4178, as 93the highG749 priestG749 entersG1525 94the HolyG40 PlaceG40 95yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 that is not his ownG245. 26OtherwiseG1893, He would have neededG1163 to sufferG3958 oftenG4178 sinceG575 96the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889; but nowG3570 97onceG530 at 98the consummationG4930 of the agesG165 He has been 99revealedG5319 to putG115 awayG115 sinG266 100101by the sacrificeG2378 of HimselfG846. 27And justG2596G3745 as 102it is destinedG606 for peopleG444 to dieG599 onceG530, and afterG3326 thisG3778 103comes judgmentG2920, 28soG3779 ChristG5547 alsoG2532, having been 104offeredG4374 onceG530 to 105bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183, will appearG3708 106a secondG1208 timeG1208 for 107salvationG4991 108withoutG5565 reference to sinG266, to thoseG3588 who 109eagerlyG553 awaitG553 Him.
