Better sacrifices and better blood with the greater and more perfect tabernacle
9:1—10:18
Heb. 9
:1
9:1
Now then the
afirst covenant also had
bordinances of service, and its
1csanctuary was of
dthis world.
Heb. 9
:2
9:2
For a
atabernacle was prepared, the first, in which were the
blampstand and the
ctable and the
dloaves that were set forth, which is called the
eHoly Place;
Heb. 9
:3
9:3
And after the second
aveil, a
btabernacle, which is called the
cHoly of Holies,
Heb. 9
:4
9:4
1Having a
agolden 2altar and the
bark of the covenant covered about everywhere with gold, in which were the golden
3cpot that had the manna and Aaron's
drod that budded and the
etablets of the covenant,
Heb. 9
:5
9:5
And above it
acherubim of glory overshadowing the
1bpropitiation place, concerning which it is not now
the time to speak in detail.
Heb. 9
:6
9:6
Now these things having been thus prepared,
ainto the
bfirst tabernacle the priests enter
ccontinually, accomplishing their worship;
Heb. 9
:7
9:7
But into the
asecond, only the
bhigh priest
enters, conce a year
and not without
dblood, which he offers for
ehimself and for the
1sins of ignorance of the
fpeople,
Heb. 9
:8
9:8
The aHoly Spirit
thus making this clear, that the
1bway of the
cHoly of Holies has not yet been manifested while the
dfirst tabernacle still has
its standing,
Heb. 9
:9
9:9
Which is a
1afigure for the present time. According to
this tabernacle both
2bgifts and sacrifices are offered, which are
cunable to perfect, according to
dconscience, him who worships,
Heb. 9
:10
9:10
Consisting only of
afoods and drinks and various
1bwashings, being ordinances of the flesh, imposed until the time of
2setting things right.
Heb. 9
:11
9:11
But Christ, having come as a
aHigh Priest of
1the bgood things that have come into being, through the greater and more perfect
ctabernacle not
dmade by hands, that is, not of
ethis creation,
Heb. 9
:12
9:12
And not through the
ablood of goats and calves but through His
bown blood,
centered donce for all into the
eHoly of Holies,
1obtaining an
feternal 2redemption.
Heb. 9
:13
9:13
For if the
ablood of goats and bulls and the
bashes of a heifer
csprinkling those who are
1defiled sanctify to the purity of the flesh,
Heb. 9
:14
9:14
How much more will the
1ablood of Christ, who through the
2eternal Spirit
boffered Himself
cwithout blemish to God, purify our
3dconscience from
4edead works to
fserve the
5gliving God?
Heb. 9
:15
9:15
And because of this He is the
aMediator of a
bnew covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the
1transgressions under the
cfirst covenant, those who have been
dcalled might receive the
2promise of the
3eternal einheritance.
Heb. 9
:16
9:16
For where there is a
1testament, the death of him who made the testament must of necessity be established.
Heb. 9
:17
9:17
For a
1testament is confirmed
2in the case of the dead, since it never has force when he who made the testament is living.
Heb. 9
:18
9:18
Hence neither was the
afirst covenant 1initiated without
bblood;
Heb. 9
:19
9:19
For when every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he
atook the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and
bscarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll
of the covenant itself and all the people,
Heb. 9
:20
9:20
Saying,"This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded to you.''
Heb. 9
:21
9:21
And both the
atabernacle and all the vessels of the service he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.
Heb. 9
:22
9:22
And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and
1without shedding of
ablood there is no forgiveness.
Heb. 9
:23
9:23
It was necessary therefore for the
aexamples of the things in the heavens to be purified by these, but the
1heavenly things themselves, by
2bbetter sacrifices than these.
Heb. 9
:24
9:24
For Christ did not
aenter into a
1holy place made by hands, a
2bfigure of the
ctrue, but into
dheaven itself, to appear now before the face of God for us;
Heb. 9
:25
9:25
Nor in order that He might offer Himself often, just as the
ahigh priest enters into the
bHoly of Holies year by year by the blood of other
creatures;
Heb. 9
:26
9:26
Since then He would have had to suffer often
asince the foundation of the world. But now
bonce at the
1cconsummation of the ages He has been
dmanifested for the
eputting away of sin through the
fsacrifice of Himself.
Heb. 9
:27
9:27
And inasmuch as it is
1reserved for men to
adie 2once, and after this
comes bjudgment,
Heb. 9
:28
9:28
So Christ also, having been offered
aonce to
bbear the sins of many, will
cappear a second time to those who
deagerly await Him,
1apart from sin, unto
2esalvation.
