For a tent was erected, with the lamp and the table and the presentation bread in the outer part, which was called the sanctuary.

With these arrangements for worship, the priests used constantly to go into the outer part of the tent, in the performance of their rites,

In all this the holy Spirit was seeking to show that there was no free access to the sanctuary while the outer tent was still standing.

For when Moses had told all the regulations of the Law to all the people, he took calves' and goats' blood, along with water, crimson wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled the roll of the Law and all the people,

let us draw near to God in sincerity of heart and with perfect faith, with our hearts cleansed from the sense of sin, and our bodies washed with clean water.
