who are Israelites; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, and the promises;

a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

The first covenant, then, had indeed ordinances of religious service, and a worldly sanctuary.

the Holy Spirit clearly showing this, that the way into the sanctuary hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing:

But Christ having appeared, as a highpriest of the good things to come, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered once for all into the sanctuary,

For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the highpriest are burned without the camp.
