Hebrews:9:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now indeed even the first {
TR adds "
tabernacle "}
covenant had ordinances of divine service ,
and an earthly sanctuary .
*
For a tabernacle was prepared .
In the first part were the lampstand ,
the table ,
and the show bread ;
which is called the Holy Place .
*
After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies ,
*
having a golden altar of incense ,
and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold ,
in which was a golden pot holding the manna ,
Aaron '
s rod that budded ,
and the tablets of the covenant ;
*
and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat ,
of which things we can '
t speak now in detail .
*
Now these things having been thus prepared ,
the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle ,
accomplishing the services ,
*
but into the second the high priest alone ,
once in the year ,
not without blood ,
which he offers for himself ,
and for the errors of the people .
*
The Holy Spirit is indicating this ,
that the way into the Holy Place wasn '
t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing ;
*
which is a symbol of the present age ,
where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable ,
concerning the conscience ,
of making the worshipper perfect ;
*
being only (
with meats and drinks and various washings )
fleshly ordinances ,
imposed until a time of reformation .
