Hebrews 9:2-14

CLV(i) 2 For the tabernacle is constructed, the front part (in which was, besides the lampstand, the table also, and the showbread), which is termed the holy place." 3 Now after the second curtain is a tabernacle which is termed the holy of holies, 4 having the golden censer and the ark of the covenant, covered about everywhere with gold, in which was the golden urn having the manna, and Aaron's staff which germinates, and the tablets of the covenant." 5 Now up over it were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory shelter, concerning which there is nothing in particular to say now." 6 Now these having been constructed thus, the priests, indeed, are passing continually into the front tabernacle, performing the divine service;" 7 yet into the second, the chief priest only, once a year, not apart from blood, which he is offering for himself and the errors of the people, 8 by this the holy spirit making it evident that the way of the holy places is not as yet manifest while the front tabernacle still has a standing: 9 which is a parable for the present period, according to which both approach presents and sacrifices are being offered, which can not make the one offering divine service perfect as to the conscience, 10 only in foods and drinks and baptizings excelling, and just statutes for the flesh, lying on them unto the period of reformation." 11 Now Christ, coming along a Chief Priest of the impending good things through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not of this creation;" 12 not even through the blood of he-goats and calves, but through His own blood, entered once for all time into the holy places, finding eonian redemption." 13 For if the blood of he-goats and of bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the contaminated, is hallowing to the cleanness of the flesh, 14 how much rather shall the blood of Christ, Who, through the eonian spirit offers Himself flawless to God, be cleansing your conscience from dead works to be offering divine service to the living and true God?
