THEN indeed, even the first covenant  had ordinance of divine service and earthly sanctuary.

2 For a tabernancle was prepared: the first part, in which was lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary;

3 And behind the second veil, the part of the tabernancle which is called the Holiest of All,

4 Which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Asron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

5 And above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now in detail.

6 Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priest always went into the first part of the tabernacle.

7 But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people's sins committed in ignorance;

7 The Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of all was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience -

10 Concerned only with foods and drinks, various washing, and the fleshly ordinance imposed until the time of reformation.

11 But Christ came as High priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with  hands, that is not of this creation.

12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

13 For if the blood of bulls and goat and the ashes of a heifer, spinkling the unclean, sanctifices for the purifying of the flesh,

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may recieve the promise  of eternal inheritance.

16 For where there is testament, there must also of necessity of death of a testator.

17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

18  Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

19 For when Moses had spoken every percept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and spinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20 Saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

21 Then likewise he spinkle with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessel of the vessels of the ministery.

22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without sheding of blood there is no remission.

23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the haveans should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are coppied of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

25 Not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another -

26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appear to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

28 So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sins, for the salvation.HEBREWS 9
