Hebrews 9 📜 📕 ↷
Earthly Tabernacle
1 THE former also indeed had justifications of service, and a secular sanctuary.📜💬📚
2 For the tabernacle was made, the first, wherein were, the candlesticks, and the table, and the proposition of loaves, which is called Holy.📜💬📚
3 But after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called Sancta Sanctorum:📜💬📚
4 having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in the which was a golden pot having Manna, and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed, and the tables of the testament,📜💬📚
5 and over it were the Cherubins of glory over-shadowing the propitiatory, of which things it is not needful to speak now particularly.📜💬📚
6 But these things being so ordered, in the first tabernacle indeed the Priests always entered, accomplishing offices of the sacrifices.📜💬📚
7 But in the second, once a year the high priest only: not without blood which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance:📜💬📚
8 the Holy Ghost signifying this, that the way of the Holies was not yet manifested, the former tabernacle as yet standing.📜💬📚
9 Which is a parable of the time present: according to which are offered gifts and hosts, which can not concerning the conscience, make perfect him that serveth,📜💬📚
10 only in meats and in drinks, and diverse baptisms, and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.📜💬📚
Redemption through His Blood
11 But Christ assisting an high Priest of the good things to come, by a more ample and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:📜💬📚
12 neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood entered in once into the Holies, eternal redemption being found.📜💬📚
13 For if the blood of goats and of oxen and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctifieth the polluted to the cleansing of the flesh,📜💬📚
14 how much more hath the blood of Christ who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleansed our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?📜💬📚
15 And therefore he is the Mediator of the new Testament: that death being a mean, unto the redemption of these prevarications which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.📜💬📚
16 For where there is a testament: the death of the testator must of necessity come between.📜💬📚
17 For a testament is confirmed in the dead: otherwise it is yet of no value, whiles the testator liveth.📜💬📚
18 Whereupon neither was the first certes dedicated without blood.📜💬📚
19 For all the commandment of the Law being read of Moyses to all the people: he taking the blood of calves and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, sprinkled the very book also it self and all the people,📜💬📚
20 saying, This is the blood of the Testament, which God hath commanded unto you.📜💬📚
21 The tabernacle also & all the vessel of the ministry he in like manner sprinkled with blood.📜💬📚
22 And all things almost according to the law are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is not remission.📜💬📚
23 It is necessary therefore that the examplers of the celestials be cleansed with these: but the celestials themselves with better hosts than these.📜💬📚
24 For JESUS is not entered into Holies made with hand, examplers of the true: but into Heaven it-self, that he may appear now to the countenance of God for us.📜💬📚
25 Nor that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies, every year in the blood of others:📜💬📚
26 otherwise he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world: but now once in the consummation of the worlds, to the destruction of sin, he hath appeared by his own host.📜💬📚
27 And as it is appointed to men to die once, and after this, the judgement:📜💬📚
28 so also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him, unto salvation.📜💬📚
