And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:

The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

We may well go in fear of falling into the hands of the living God.

By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going.

By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land.

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.
