And these thus prepared, truly to the first tent the priests always came in, to complete the divine services. And into the second the chief priest alone once a year, not without blood, which he brings near for himself, and the errors of the people: This the Holy Spirit designating, the way of the holies had not yet been made manifest, the first tent yet having a standing: read more.
Which a parable for the time placed in, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are brought near, not being able for consciousness to perfect him serving; Only in food and drinks, and different immersions, and precepts of the flesh, being placed till the time of amendment. And Christ being present, a chief priest of good things about to be, by a greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is; not of this creation; Neither by the blood of he-goats and calves, and by his own blood he went in once for all to the holies, having found eternal deliverance. For if the blood of bulls and he-goats, and the ashes of a heifer besprinkling the polluted, consecrates to the purity of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself blameless to God, purify your consciousness from dead works to serve the living God? And for this he is mediator of a new covenant, that death having been, for redemption of the transgressions for the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a will, the necessity for the death of him having willed to be brought forward. For a will is firm by the dead: since it has no power when he having willed lives. Wherefore neither was the first consecrated without blood. For every command spoken according to law by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of calves and he-goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and also the book, and he sprinkled all the people, Saying, This the blood of the covenant which God enjoined to you. And also the tent, and all the vessels of the service, he poured all over likewise with blood. And almost all things are purified according to the law with blood; and without blood-letting there is no remission. Therefore truly a necessity for the patterns of things in the heavens to be purified with these; and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ came not into the holy places made with hands, the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be shown clearly to the face of God for us: Neither that he should offer himself many times, as the chief priest comes in to the holy places yearly with blood pertaining to others; (Since he must have suffered many times from the foundation of the world:) but now once at the termination of the times for the annulling of sin by the sacrifice of himself has he been shown clearly. And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this the judgment: So Christ, once offered to have borne the sins of many, of the second time, without sin, shall be seen to them expecting him for salvation.


For if that first was faultless, then place was not to be sought for the second. For rebuking them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will complete for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant: Not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in the day of my taking their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they remained not in my covenant, and I heeded them not, says the Lord. read more.
For this the covenant which I will set to the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; giving my laws into their mind, and upon their hearts will I write them: and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for a people: And they should not teach each his neighbor, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from their little even to their great ones. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins and their injustices will I remember no more. In saying new, he has made the first old. And that made old and becoming weak is near destruction.

And truly therefore the first had precepts of divine service for him, and a worldly holy place. For the first tent was prepared; (in which was the chandelier, and table, and the setting up of the loaves;) which is called holy. And after the second veil, the tent called Holy of Holies; read more.
Having the golden censer, and ark of the covenant surrounded on all sides with gold, in which was the golden urn having the manna, and Aaron's rod having budded, and the tables of the covenant; And above it the cherubs of glory overshadowing the propitiatory; of which it is not now to speak in turn. And these thus prepared, truly to the first tent the priests always came in, to complete the divine services. And into the second the chief priest alone once a year, not without blood, which he brings near for himself, and the errors of the people: This the Holy Spirit designating, the way of the holies had not yet been made manifest, the first tent yet having a standing: Which a parable for the time placed in, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are brought near, not being able for consciousness to perfect him serving; Only in food and drinks, and different immersions, and precepts of the flesh, being placed till the time of amendment. And Christ being present, a chief priest of good things about to be, by a greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is; not of this creation; Neither by the blood of he-goats and calves, and by his own blood he went in once for all to the holies, having found eternal deliverance. For if the blood of bulls and he-goats, and the ashes of a heifer besprinkling the polluted, consecrates to the purity of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself blameless to God, purify your consciousness from dead works to serve the living God? And for this he is mediator of a new covenant, that death having been, for redemption of the transgressions for the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

For the law having a shadow of good things about to be, not the same image of the things, with these sacrifices which they bring in yearly in continuance never can render perfect them coming thereto. For would they not have ceased to be brought in? because they serving have no more consciousness of sins, once purified. But in these, a reminding of sins yearly. read more.
For the blood of bulls and he-goats cannot take away sins. Wherefore coming into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering then wouldest not, but a body hast thou adjusted to me: And with whole burnt offering for sin wast thou not contented. Then said I, Behold, I am here (in the head of the book it was written of me,) O God, to do thy will. Farther back, saying, That sacrifice and bringing in and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou wouldest not, neither wert contented with; which are brought in according to law; Then he said, Behold, I am here to do, O God, thy will. He takes away the first, that he might set up the second. In which will we are consecrated by the bringing in of the body of Jesus Christ once. And truly every priest has stood daily, serving and bringing in many times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this, having brought in one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

And where remission of these, no more bringing in for sin. Having therefore, brethren, freedom of speech for the entering in of the holies by the blood of Jesus, A way publicly declared and living, which he consecrated to us, through the veil, that is, his flesh;

Chanting of David. O Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in thy holy mountain?

A workman of holy things, and of the true tent, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

Who serve the pattern and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was given an intimation of the divine will, being about to complete the tent: for, See, says he, thou make all things according to the type shewed thee in the mount.

And my dwelling was with them, and I was to them for God, and they shall be to me for a people.

And make a vail of cerulean purple, and red purple, and double scarlet, and twisted byssus, the work of the artificer: he shall make with it Cherubs. And give it upon four acacia pillars spread over with gold: their pegs of gold upon four silver bases. And give the vail under the hooks, and bring in there from the inside of the vail, the ark of the testimony: and the vail separating to you between the holy and between the holy of holies. read more.
And give the vail upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies. And put the table from without the vail, and the chandelier over against the table upon the rib of the tent at the right hand and the table thou shalt give upon the north rib. And make a covering for the door of the tent, cerulean purple, red purple, and double scarlet and white byssus, a variegated work. And make for the covering five acacia pillars, and spread them over with gold, their pegs gold: and cast for them five bases of brass.

And he will give the table in the tent of appointment, upon the thigh of the dwelling northward from without the vail. And he will set in order upon it the arrangement for the bread before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses. And he put the chandelier in the tent of appointment, opposite the table, upon the thigh of the dwelling southward. read more.
And he will raise up the lamps before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses. And he will put the altar of gold in the tent of appointment, before the vail.
