Hebrews 9

NASB

Hebrews 9

The Old and the New

^{Tools
1} Now even the first covenant had ^(A)regulations of divine worship and ^(B)the earthly sanctuary. ^{Tools
2} For there was ^(C)a ^(a)tabernacle prepared, the ^(b)outer one, in which were ^(D)the lampstand and ^(E)the table and ^(F)the ^(c)sacred bread; this is called the holy place. ^{Tools
3} Behind ^(G)the second veil there was a ^(d)tabernacle which is called the ^(H)Holy of Holies, ^{Tools
4} having a golden ^(e)^(I)altar of incense and ^(J)the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was ^(K)a golden jar holding the manna, and ^(L)Aaron’s rod which budded, and ^(M)the tables of the covenant; ^{Tools
5} and above it were the ^(N)cherubim of glory ^(O)overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

^{Tools
6} Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests ^(P)are continually entering the ^(f)outer ^(g)tabernacle performing the divine worship, ^{Tools
7} but into ^(Q)the second, only ^(R)the high priest enters ^(S)once a year, ^(T)not without taking blood, which he ^(U)offers for himself and for the ^(h)^(V)sins of the people committed in ignorance. ^{Tools
8} ^(W)The Holy Spirit is signifying this, ^(X)that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the ⁽ⁱ⁾outer tabernacle is still standing, ^{Tools
9} which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly ^(Y)both gifts and sacrifices are offered which ^(Z)cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, ^{Tools
10} since they relate only to ^(AA)food and ^(AB)drink and various ^(AC)washings, ^(AD)regulations for the ^(j)body imposed until ^(AE)a time of reformation.

^{Tools
11} But when Christ appeared as a ^(AF)high priest of the ^(AG)good things ^(k)to come, He entered through ^(AH)the greater and more perfect ^(l)tabernacle, ^(AI)not made with hands, that is to say, ^(AJ)not of this creation; ^{Tools
12} and not through ^(AK)the blood of goats and calves, but ^(AL)through His own blood, He ^(AM)entered the holy place ^(AN)once for all, ^(m)having obtained ^(AO)eternal redemption. ^{Tools
13} For if ^(AP)the blood of goats and bulls and ^(AQ)the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the ⁽ⁿ⁾cleansing of the flesh, ^{Tools
14} how much more will ^(AR)the blood of Christ, who through ^(o)^(AS)the eternal Spirit ^(AT)offered Himself without blemish to God, ^(AU)cleanse ^(p)your conscience from ^(AV)dead works to serve ^(AW)the living God?

^{Tools
15} For this reason ^(AX)He is the ^(AY)mediator of a ^(AZ)new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been ^(BA)called may ^(BB)receive the promise of ^(BC)the eternal inheritance. ^{Tools
16} For where a ^(q)covenant is, there must of necessity ^(r)be the death of the one who made it. ^{Tools
17} For a ^(s)covenant is valid only when ^(t)men are dead, ^(u)for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. ^{Tools
18} Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. ^{Tools
19} For when every commandment had been ^(BD)spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, ^(BE)he took the ^(BF)blood of the calves and the goats, with ^(BG)water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both ^(BH)the book itself and all the people, ^{Tools
20} saying, “^(BI)This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.” ^{Tools
21} And in the same way he ^(BJ)sprinkled both the ^(v)tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. ^{Tools
22} And according to the ^(w)Law, one may ^(BK)almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and ^(BL)without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

^{Tools
23} Therefore it was necessary for the ^(BM)copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but ^(BN)the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ^{Tools
24} For Christ ^(BO)did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of ^(BP)the true one, but into ^(BQ)heaven itself, now ^(BR)to appear in the presence of God for us; ^{Tools
25} nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as ^(BS)the high priest enters ^(BT)the holy place ^(BU)year by year with blood that is not his own. ^{Tools
26} Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since ^(BV)the foundation of the world; but now ^(BW)once at ^(BX)the consummation of the ages He has been ^(BY)manifested to put away sin ^(x)^(BZ)by the sacrifice of Himself. ^{Tools
27} And inasmuch as ^(CA)it is ^(y)appointed for men to die once and after this ^(CB)comes judgment, ^{Tools
28} so Christ also, having been ^(CC)offered once to ^(CD)bear the sins of many, will appear ^(CE)a second time for ^(CF)salvation ^(CG)without reference to sin, to those who ^(CH)eagerly await Him.
