rkjnt - Hebrews:9:1-10

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now truly, the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:2 @ For there was a tabernacle prepared, in the first room of which was the lampstand, and the table, and the bread of the presence; this is called the sanctuary.

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:3 @ And behind the second veil stood the room of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:4 @ Which had the golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, in which was the golden jar that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:5 @ And over it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak in detail.

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:6 @ Now when these preparations had been made, the priests went regularly into the first room of the tabernacle, performing their ministry.

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:7 @ But into the second the high priest went alone, once every year, and not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the sins the people committed in ignorance.

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:8 @ By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the holiest of all has not yet been disclosed, while the first room of the tabernacle remains standing,

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:9 @ Which is a symbol for the present age, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshipper perfect in conscience;

rkjnt@Hebrews:9:10 @ For they are only a matter of food and drink, and various washings, and regulations for the body, imposed until the time of reformation.
