as officiating Priest in that sanctuary, which is also the true tent of worship, which the Lord and not man set up.

and yet they officiate in a sanctuary that is a mere copy and shadow of the heavenly one, as Moses, when he was about to make the tent of worship, was warned, for, said He, "See to it that you make it all just like the pattern shown you on the mountain."

So indeed the first covenant had its regulations for worship and its earthly sanctuary.

By this the Holy Spirit was showing that there was as yet no access to the real sanctuary while the outer tent was still in existence,

and not with blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He once for all went into the real sanctuary and secured our eternal redemption.

For it was not a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, that Christ entered, but it was into heaven itself that He went, in order now to appear for us in the very presence of God.

And He does not enter to offer Himself over and over again, as the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own;

Since then, my brothers, we have free access to the real sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is taken into the sanctuary by the priest as a sin-offering, are burned outside the camp.
