And these things thus having been prepared, the priests indeed enter into the first part of the tabernacle continually, accomplishing the services. But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people, this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains. Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience, only in foods and drinks and various washings: carnal ordinances imposed until a time of reformation.

Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these. For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
