Hébreux

  • The Old and the New

  • |Hébreux 9:1| Now even the first covenant had regulations for divine worship and for the earthly sanctuary.

  • |Hébreux 9:2| A tabernacle (sacred tent) was put up, the outer one or first section, in which were the lampstand and the table with [its loaves of] the sacred showbread; this is called the Holy Place.

  • |Hébreux 9:3| Behind the second veil there was another tabernacle [the inner one or second section] known as the Holy of Holies,

  • |Hébreux 9:4| 1 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered entirely with gold. This contained a golden jar which held the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the [two stone] tablets of the covenant [inscribed with the Ten Commandments];

  • |Hébreux 9:5| and above the ark were the [golden] cherubim of glory overshadowing2 the mercy seat; but we cannot now go into detail about these things.

  • |Hébreux 9:6| Now when these things have been prepared in this way, the priests continually enter the outer [or first section of the] tabernacle [that is, the Holy Place] performing [their ritual acts of] the divine worship,

  • |Hébreux 9:7| but into the second [inner tabernacle, the Holy of Holies], only the high priest enters [and then only] once a year, and never without [bringing a sacrifice of] blood, which he offers [as a substitutionary atonement] for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

  • |Hébreux 9:8| By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Holy Place [the true Holy of Holies and the presence of God] has not yet been disclosed as long as the3 first or outer tabernacle is still standing [that is, as long as the Levitical system of worship remains a recognized institution],

  • |Hébreux 9:9| for this [first or outer tabernacle] is a symbol [that is, an archetype or paradigm] for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which are incapable of perfecting the conscience and renewing the [inner self of the] worshiper.

  • |Hébreux 9:10| For they [the gifts, sacrifices, and ceremonies] deal only with [clean and unclean] food and drink and various ritual washings, [mere] external regulations for the body imposed [to help the worshipers] until the time of reformation [that is, the time of the new order when Christ will establish the reality of what these things foreshadow—a better covenant].
