1Then[G3767]verily[G3303] the first[G4413] covenant had[G2192]also[G2532]ordinances[G1345] of divine service[G2999], and[G5037] a worldly[G2886]sanctuary[G39].
2For[G1063] there was[G2680] a tabernacle[G4633]made[G2680]; the first[G4413], wherein[G1722]was[G2680] the candlestick[G3087], and[G2532] the table[G5132], and[G2532] the shewbread[G4286]; which[G3748] is called[G3004] the sanctuary[G39].
3And[G1161]after[G3326] the second[G1208]veil[G2665], the tabernacle[G4633]which[G3588] is called[G3004] the Holiest of all[G39];
4
Which had[G2192] the golden[G5552]censer[G2369], and[G2532] the ark[G2787] of the covenant[G1242]overlaid[G4028] round about[G3840] with gold[G5553], wherein[G1722] was the golden[G5552]pot[G4713] that had[G2192]manna[G3131], and[G2532] Aaron's rod[G4464] that budded[G985], and[G2532] the tables[G4109] of the covenant[G1242];
5And[G1161]over[G5231]it[G846] the cherubims[G5502]of[G4012]glory[G1391]shadowing[G2683] the mercyseat[G2435]; of[G4012]which[G3739] we cannot[G3756]now[G3568]speak[G3004]particularly[G2596].
6Now[G1161] when these things[G5130]were[G2680]thus[G3779]ordained[G2680], the priests[G2409]went[G1524]always[G1275]into[G1519] the first[G4413]tabernacle[G4633], accomplishing[G2005] the service[G2999] of God.
7But[G1161]into[G1519] the second[G1208] went the high priest[G749]alone[G3441]once[G530] every year[G1763], not[G3756]without[G5565]blood[G129], which[G3739] he offered[G4374]for[G5228]himself[G1438], and[G2532]for[G5228] the errors[G51] of the people[G2992]:
8
The Holy[G40]Ghost[G4151]this[G5124]signifying[G1213], that the way[G3598] into the holiest of all[G39]was[G5319] not yet[G3380] made manifest[G5319], while as the first[G4413]tabernacle[G4633]was[G2192]yet[G2089]standing[G4714]:
9Which[G3748] was a figure[G3850]for[G1519] the time[G2540] then present[G1764], in[G2596]which[G3739] were offered[G4374]both[G5037]gifts[G1435]and[G2532]sacrifices[G2378], that could[G1410]not[G3361]make[G5048] him that did the service[G3000]perfect[G5048], as pertaining to[G2596] the conscience[G4893];
10
Which stood only[G3440]in[G1909]meats[G1033]and[G2532]drinks[G4188], and[G2532]divers[G1313]washings[G909], and[G2532]carnal[G4561]ordinances[G1345], imposed[G1945] on them until[G3360] the time[G2540] of reformation[G1357].
11But[G1161]Christ[G5547] being come[G3854] an high priest[G749] of good things[G18] to come[G3195], by[G1223] a greater[G3187]and[G2532] more perfect[G5046]tabernacle[G4633], not[G3756] made with hands[G5499], that is to say[G5123], not[G3756] of this[G5026]building[G2937];
12Neither[G3761]by[G1223] the blood[G129] of goats[G5131]and[G2532]calves[G3448], but[G1161]by[G1223] his own[G2398]blood[G129] he entered in[G1525]once[G2178]into[G1519] the holy place[G39], having obtained[G2147]eternal[G166]redemption[G3085] for us.
13For[G1063]if[G1487] the blood[G129] of bulls[G5022]and[G2532] of goats[G5131], and[G2532] the ashes[G4700] of an heifer[G1151]sprinkling[G4472] the unclean[G2840], sanctifieth[G37]to[G4314] the purifying[G2514] of the flesh[G4561]:
14
How much[G4214]more[G3123]shall[G2511] the blood[G129] of Christ[G5547], who[G3739]through[G1223] the eternal[G166]Spirit[G4151]offered[G4374]himself[G1438] without spot[G299]to[G1519]God[G2316], purge[G2511]your[G5216]conscience[G4893]from[G575]dead[G3498]works[G2041]to[G1519]serve[G3000] the living[G2198]God?[G2316]
15And[G2532]for[G1519]this[G5124]cause[G1223] he is[G2076] the mediator[G3316] of the new[G2537]testament[G1242], that[G3704] by means[G1096] of death[G2288], for[G1519] the redemption[G629] of the transgressions[G3847]that[G3704] were under[G1909] the first[G4413]testament[G1242], they which are called[G2564] might receive[G2983] the promise[G1860] of eternal[G166]inheritance[G2817].
16For[G1063]where[G3699] a testament[G1242] is, there must also of necessity[G318]be[G5342] the death[G2288] of the testator[G1303].
17For[G1063] a testament[G1242] is of[G2480]force[G949]after[G1909] men are dead[G3498]: otherwise[G1893] it is of[G2480]no[G3379]strength[G2480] at all[G3379]while[G3753] the testator[G1303]liveth[G2198].
18Whereupon[G3606]neither[G3761] the first[G4413] testament was dedicated[G1457]without[G5565]blood[G129].
19For[G1063]when[G5259]Moses[G3475] had spoken[G2980]every[G3956]precept[G1785] to all[G3956] the people[G2992]according[G2596] to the law[G3551], he took[G2983] the blood[G129] of calves[G3448]and[G2532] of goats[G5131], with[G3326]water[G5204], and[G2532]scarlet[G2847]wool[G2053], and[G2532]hyssop[G5301], and[G2532]sprinkled[G4472]both[G5037] the book[G975], and[G2532]all[G3956] the people[G2992],
20Saying[G3004], This[G5124] is the blood[G129] of the testament[G1242]which[G3739]God[G2316] hath enjoined[G1781]unto[G4314]you[G5209].
21Moreover[G1161] he sprinkled[G4472] with blood[G129]both[G2532] the tabernacle[G4633], and[G2532]all[G3956] the vessels[G4632] of the ministry[G3009].
22And[G2532]almost[G4975] all things[G3956]are[G2511]by[G2596] the law[G3551]purged[G2511]with[G1722]blood[G129]; and[G2532]without[G5565] shedding of blood[G130]is[G1096]no[G3756]remission[G859].
23
It was therefore[G3767]necessary[G318] that the patterns[G5262] of things[G3303]in[G1722] the heavens[G3772] should be purified[G2511] with these[G5125]; but[G1161] the heavenly things[G2032]themselves[G846] with better[G2909]sacrifices[G2378]than[G3844]these[G5025].
24For[G1063]Christ[G5547]is[G1525]not[G3756]entered[G1525]into[G1519] the holy places[G39] made with hands[G5499], which are the figures[G499] of the true[G228]; but[G235]into[G1519]heaven[G3772]itself[G846], now[G3568] to appear[G1718] in the presence[G4383] of God[G2316]for[G5228]us[G2257]:
25Nor[G3761] yet that[G2443] he should offer[G4374]himself[G1438]often[G4178], as[G5618] the high priest[G749]entereth[G1525]into[G1519] the holy place[G39]every[G2596]year[G1763]with[G1722]blood[G129] of others[G245];
26
For then[G1893]must[G1163]he[G846]often[G4178] have suffered[G3958]since[G575] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889]: but[G1161]now[G3568]once[G530]in[G1909] the end[G4930] of the world[G165] hath he[G846]appeared[G5319]to[G1519] put away[G115]sin[G266]by[G1223] the sacrifice[G2378] of himself[G846].
27And[G2532]as[G2596] it is appointed[G606] unto men[G444]once[G530] to die[G599], but[G1161]after[G3326]this[G5124] the judgment[G2920]:
28So[G3779]Christ[G5547] was once[G530]offered[G4374]to[G1519]bear[G399] the sins[G266] of many[G4183]; and unto[G1519] them that look[G553] for him[G846] shall he appear[G3700] the second time[G1208]without[G5565]sin[G266]unto[G1519]salvation[G4991].
