2 for a tabernacle was prepared; the first compartment, in which are the candlestick, and the table, and the presentment of the loaves; this is called the Holy.
3 And beyond the second veil is a compartment which is called, The Holy of Holies,
4 containing a golden altar and the ark of the covenant, all overlaid with gold, in which was the golden urn containing the manna, and the staff of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant,
5 and above it the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not at this time to speak particularly.
6 These things being thus prepared, the priests, performing the divine services, go on all occasions into the first compartment;
7 but into the second the chief priest only, and but once a year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself and for the errors of the people,
8 the Holy Spirit plainly shewing this, that the way into the holies was not yet manifested while that tabernacle hath a standing.
9 This figurative representation was for the time being, according to which gifts and sacrifices were offered, which cannot make him who performeth service, perfect with regard to the conscience,
10 they being things imposed barely for meats, and drinks, and divers baptisms, and rules of conduct respecting flesh, until the time of reformation:
11 But Christ being come, a chief priest of the future good things, hath entered into the holies by the greater and more perfect tabernacle; not by one made with hands, that is, not of this creation;
12 nor with the blood of goats and young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all, having procured everlasting redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean sanctify, to the cleansing of the flesh;
14 how much more will the' blood of the Christ, who by an eternal spirit hath offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works that you may serve the living God.
