Hebrews 9:3-14

3BehindG3326 1the secondG1208 veilG2665 there was a 2tabernacleG4633 which is calledG3004 the 3MostG40 HolyG40 PlaceG40, 4havingG2192 a goldenG5552 45altarG2369 ofG2369 incenseG2369 and 6the arkG2787 of the covenantG1242 coveredG4028 on allG3840 sidesG3840 with goldG5553, in whichG3739 was 7a goldenG5552 jarG4713 holdingG2192 the mannaG3131, 8Aaron’sG2 staffG4464 which buddedG985, and 9the tabletsG4109 of the covenantG1242; 5and aboveG5231 it were the 10cherubimG5502 of gloryG1391 11overshadowingG2683 the 12atoningG2435 coverG2435; but aboutG4012 theseG3739 thingsG3739 we cannotG3756 nowG3568 speakG3004 in detailG3313.

6NowG1161 when theseG3778 thingsG3778 have been soG3779 preparedG2680, the priestsG2409 13are continuallyG1223G3956 enteringG1524 the 14outerG4413 15tabernacleG4633, performingG2005 the divineG2999 worshipG2999, 7but into 16the secondG1208, onlyG3441 17the highG749 priestG749 enters 18onceG530 a yearG1763, 19not withoutG5565 taking bloodG129 whichG3739 he 20offersG4374 for himselfG1438 and for the 2122sinsG51 of the peopleG2992 committedG51 inG51 ignoranceG51. 823The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 is signifyingG1213 thisG3778, 24that the wayG3598 into the holyG40 placeG40 has not yetG3380 been disclosedG5319 while the 25outerG4413 tabernacleG4633 is stillG2089 standingG4714, 9whichG3748 is a symbolG3850 for the presentG1764 timeG2540. AccordinglyG2596 26bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 are offeredG4374 which 27cannotG1410G3361 makeG5048 the worshiperG3000 perfectG5048 in conscienceG4893, 10since they relate onlyG3440 to 28foodG1033, 29drinkG4188, and variousG1313 30washingsG909, 31regulationsG1345 for the 32bodyG4561 imposedG1945 untilG3360 33a timeG2540 of reformationG1357.

11But when ChristG5547 appearedG3854 as a 34highG749 priestG749 of the 35goodG18 thingsG18 36having comeG1096, He entered throughG1223 37the greaterG3173 and moreG5046 perfectG5046 38tabernacleG4633, 39not madeG5499 byG5499 handsG5499, that is, 40not of thisG3778 creationG2937; 12and not throughG1223 41the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but 42throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, He 43enteredG1525 the holyG40 placeG40 44onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time, 45having obtainedG2147 46eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For ifG1487 47the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022, and 48the 49ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840, sanctifyG37 for the 50cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 51the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 5253the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 54offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 55cleanseG2511 your conscienceG4893 from 56deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 57the livingG2198 GodG2316?
