Hebrews 9:1-14

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 13 14altarG2369 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 continuallyG1223 G3956 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 30 31sinsG51 of the peopleG2992 committedG51 inG51 ignoranceG51. 8 32The 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 36cannotG1410 G3361 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 61 62the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 63offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 64cleanseG2511 your conscienceG4893 from 65deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 66the livingG2198 GodG2316?
