That is the responsibility of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to offer incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have disobeyed and the LORD God will not honor you!” 19 Uzziah, who had an incense censer in his hand, became angry.

    7But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

    8The Holy Spirit is making clear that the way into the holy place had not yet appeared as long as the old tabernacle was standing.

    9This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.

    1The Arrangement and Ritual of the Earthly Sanctuary Now the first covenant, in fact, had regulations for worship and its earthly sanctuary.

    2For a tent was prepared, the outer one, which contained the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this is called the holy place.

    11Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

    12and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured eternal redemption.

    13For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled consecrated them and provided ritual purity,

    1The High Priest of a Better Covenant Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, one who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

    2a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.

    3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.

    4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

    5The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says,“See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain.”

    6But now Jesus has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted on better promises.

    21And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

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

    23So it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these.

    24For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands– the representation of the true sanctuary– but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

    25And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

    1Concluding Exposition: Old and New Sacrifices Contrasted For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.

    2For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin?

    3But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.
