1 Then{G3767} verily{G3303} the first{G4413} covenant had{G2192}{(G5707)} also{G2532} ordinances{G1345} of divine service{G2999}, and{G5037} a worldly{G2886} sanctuary{G39}.

2 For{G1063} there was{G2680} a tabernacle{G4633} made{G2680}{(G5681)}; the first{G4413}, wherein{G1722}{G3739}{G5037} was the candlestick{G3087}, and{G2532} the table{G5132}, and{G2532} the shewbread{G4286}{G740}; which{G3748} is called{G3004}{(G5743)} the sanctuary{G39}.

3 And{G1161} after{G3326} the second{G1208} veil{G2665}, the tabernacle{G4633} which{G3588} is called{G3004}{(G5746)} the Holiest of all{G39}{G39};

4 Which had{G2192}{(G5723)} the golden{G5552} censer{G2369}, and{G2532} the ark{G2787} of the covenant{G1242} overlaid{G4028}{(G5772)} round about{G3840} with gold{G5553}, wherein{G1722}{G3739} was the golden{G5552} pot{G4713} that had{G2192}{(G5723)} manna{G3131}, and{G2532} Aaron's{G2} rod{G4464} that budded{G985}{(G5660)}, and{G2532} the tables{G4109} of the covenant{G1242};

5 And{G1161} over{G5231} it{G846} the cherubims{G5502} of glory{G1391} shadowing{G2683}{(G5723)} the mercyseat{G2435}; of{G4012} which{G3739} we cannot{G3756}{G2076}{(G5748)} now{G3568} speak{G3004}{(G5721)} particularly{G2596}{G3313}.

6 Now{G1161} when these things{G5130} were{G2680} thus{G3779} ordained{G2680}{(G5772)}, the priests{G2409} went{G1524}{(G5748)} always{G1275} into{G1519}{G3303} the first{G4413} tabernacle{G4633}, accomplishing{G2005}{(G5723)} the service{G2999} of God.

7 But{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}{(G5719)} for{G5228} himself{G1438}, and{G2532} for the errors{G51} of the people{G2992}:

8 The Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151} this{G5124} signifying{G1213}{(G5723)}, that the way{G3598} into the holiest of all{G39} was{G5319} not yet{G3380} made manifest{G5319}{(G5771)}, while as the first{G4413} tabernacle{G4633} was{G2192}{(G5723)} yet{G2089} standing{G4714}:

9 Which{G3748} was a figure{G3850} for{G1519} the time{G2540} then present{G1764}{(G5761)}, in{G2596} which{G3739} were offered{G4374}{(G5743)} both{G5037} gifts{G1435} and{G2532} sacrifices{G2378}, that could{G1410}{(G5740)} not{G3361} make{G5048} him that did the service{G3000}{(G5723)} perfect{G5048}{(G5658)}, 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}{(G5740)} on them until{G3360} the time{G2540} of reformation{G1357}.

11 But{G1161} Christ{G5547} being come{G3854}{(G5637)} an high priest{G749} of good things{G18} to come{G3195}{(G5723)}, by{G1223} a greater{G3187} and{G2532} more perfect{G5046} tabernacle{G4633}, not{G3756} made with hands{G5499}, that is to say{G5123}{(G5748)}, not{G3756} of this{G5026} building{G2937};

12 Neither{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}{(G5627)} once{G2178} into{G1519} the holy place{G39}, having obtained{G2147}{(G5642)} eternal{G166} redemption{G3085} for us.

13 For{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}{(G5723)} the unclean{G2840}{(G5772)}, sanctifieth{G37}{(G5719)} 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}{(G5656)} himself{G1438} without spot{G299} to God{G2316}, purge{G2511}{(G5692)} your{G5216} conscience{G4893} from{G575} dead{G3498} works{G2041} to{G1519} serve{G3000}{(G5721)} the living{G2198}{(G5723)} God{G2316}?

15 And{G2532} for this{G5124} cause{G1223} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} the mediator{G3316} of the new{G2537} testament{G1242}, that{G3704} by means{G1096}{(G5637)} of death{G2288}, for{G1519} the redemption{G629} of the transgressions{G3847} that were under{G1909} the first{G4413} testament{G1242}, they which are called{G2564}{(G5772)} might receive{G2983}{(G5632)} the promise{G1860} of eternal{G166} inheritance{G2817}.

16 For{G1063} where{G3699} a testament{G1242} is, there must also of necessity{G318} be{G5342}{(G5745)} the death{G2288} of the testator{G1303}{(G5642)}.

17 For{G1063} a testament{G1242} is of force{G949} after{G1909} men are dead{G3498}: otherwise{G1893} it is of{G2480} no{G3379} strength{G2480}{(G5719)} at all{G3379} while{G3753} the testator{G1303}{(G5642)} liveth{G2198}{(G5719)}.

18 Whereupon{G3606} neither{G3761} the first{G4413} testament was dedicated{G1457}{(G5769)} without{G5565} blood{G129}.

19 For{G1063} when{G5259} Moses{G3475} had spoken{G2980}{(G5685)} every{G3956} precept{G1785} to all{G3956} the people{G2992} according{G2596} to the law{G3551}, he took{G2983}{(G5631)} 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 sprinkled{G4472}{(G5656)} both{G5037} the book{G975}{G846}, and{G2532} all{G3956} the people{G2992},

20 Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, This{G5124} is the blood{G129} of the testament{G1242} which{G3739} God{G2316} hath enjoined{G1781}{(G5662)} unto{G4314} you{G5209}.

21 Moreover{G1161}{G3668} he sprinkled{G4472}{(G5656)} with blood{G129} both{G2532} the tabernacle{G4633}, and{G2532} all{G3956} the vessels{G4632} of the ministry{G3009}.

22 And{G2532} almost{G4975} all things{G3956} are{G2511} by{G2596} the law{G3551} purged{G2511}{(G5743)} with{G1722} blood{G129}; and{G2532} without{G5565} shedding of blood{G130} is{G1096}{(G5736)} 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}{(G5745)} with these{G5125}; but{G1161} the heavenly things{G2032} themselves{G846} with better{G2909} sacrifices{G2378} than{G3844} these{G5025}.

24 For{G1063} Christ{G5547} is{G1525} not{G3756} entered{G1525}{(G5627)} 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}{(G5683)} in the presence{G4383} of God{G2316} for{G5228} us{G2257}:

25 Nor{G3761} yet that{G2443} he should offer{G4374}{(G5725)} himself{G1438} often{G4178}, as{G5618} the high priest{G749} entereth{G1525}{(G5736)} into{G1519} the holy place{G39} every{G2596} year{G1763} with{G1722} blood{G129} of others{G245};

26 For then{G1893} must{G1163}{(G5713)} he{G846} often{G4178} have suffered{G3958}{(G5629)} 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 appeared{G5319}{(G5769)} to{G1519} put away{G115} sin{G266} by{G1223} the sacrifice{G2378} of himself{G846}.

27 And{G2532} as{G2596}{G3745} it is appointed{G606}{(G5736)} unto men{G444} once{G530} to die{G599}{(G5629)}, but{G1161} after{G3326} this{G5124} the judgment{G2920}:

28 So{G3779} Christ{G5547} was once{G530} offered{G4374}{(G5685)} to{G1519} bear{G399}{(G5629)} the sins{G266} of many{G4183}; and unto them that look{G553}{(G5740)} for him{G846} shall he appear{G3700}{(G5701)}{G1537} the second time{G1208} without{G5565} sin{G266} unto{G1519} salvation{G4991}.
