    1The first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

    2For a tabernacle was prepared, the first room containing the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the bread, which is called the Holy Place.

    3Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place.

    4It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered with gold on all sides. Inside the ark were a golden jar containing the manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

    5Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot now speak about these things in detail.

    6When these things were arranged this way, the priests would regularly enter the first room of the tabernacle to perform their ministry.

    7But only the high priest entered the second room, and only once a year, never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

    9This is a symbol for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered cannot perfect the worshiper in conscience.

    10They are only regulations concerning food and drink and various ceremonial washings, external ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

    11But Christ came as the high priest of the good things that are to come. He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

    12He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood. He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

    13For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so their bodies are outwardly clean,

    14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we may serve the living God?

    20saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to follow.'

    21In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.

    22Indeed, according to the Law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

    23Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves require better sacrifices than these.

    24For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

    25Nor did He enter to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own.

    1Now here is the main point: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.

    2He serves in the holy place and the true tabernacle, which was set up by the Lord and not by man.

    3Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

    4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

    5These priests serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he was about to set up the tabernacle. For God said, 'See that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.'

    6But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.

    7If that first covenant had been without fault, there would have been no need to seek a second one.

    1For the law, being only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those realities, can never, through the same sacrifices that are continually offered year after year, make those who draw near perfect.
