    1Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

    2For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

    3And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

    4Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

    5And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

    6Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

    7But 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:

    9And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

    10Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

    11But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

    12And 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.

    13For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:

    14How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

    20Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you.

    21And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

    22And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.

    23For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.

    24For 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.

    25And 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;

  • Heb 8:1-7

    1Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

    2As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

    3Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

    4If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

    5Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

    6But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

    7For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

    1For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

    2For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?
