Hebrews 9:1-10

1Now even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world.

2For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein were the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the Holy place.

3And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;

4having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.

6Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;

7but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:

8the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while as the first tabernacle is yet standing;

9which is a parable for the time now present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,

10being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
