* Then verily the first covenant had (5707 ) also ordinances of divine service , and a worldly sanctuary . * For there was a tabernacle made (5681 ); the first , wherein was the candlestick , and the table , and the shewbread ; which is called (5743 ) the sanctuary . * And after the second veil , the tabernacle which is called (5746 ) the Holiest of all ; * Which had (5723 ) the golden censer , and the ark of the covenant overlaid (5772 ) round about with gold , wherein was the golden pot that had (5723 ) manna , and Aarons rod that budded (5660 ), and the tables of the covenant ; * And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing (5723 ) the mercyseat ; of which we cannot (5748 ) now speak (5721 ) particularly . * Now when these things were thus ordained (5772 ), the priests went (5748 ) always into the first tabernacle , accomplishing (5723 ) the service of God . * But into the second went the high priest alone once every year , not without blood , which he offered (5719 ) for himself , and for the errors of the people : * The Holy Ghost this signifying (5723 ), that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest (5771 ), while as the first tabernacle was (5723 ) yet standing : * Which was a figure for the time then present (5761 ), in which were offered (5743 ) both gifts and sacrifices , that could (5740 ) not make him that did the service (5723 ) perfect (5658 ), as pertaining to the conscience ; * Which stood only in meats and drinks , and divers washings , and carnal ordinances , imposed (5740 ) on them until the time of reformation . * But Christ being come (5637 ) an high priest of good things to come (5723 ), by a greater and more perfect tabernacle , not made with hands , that is to say (5748 ), not of this building ; * Neither by the blood of goats and calves , but by his own blood he entered in (5627 ) once into the holy place , having obtained (5642 ) eternal redemption for us . * For if the blood of bulls and of goats , and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling (5723 ) the unclean (5772 ), sanctifieth (5719 ) to the purifying of the flesh : * How much more shall the blood of Christ , who through the eternal Spirit offered (5656 ) himself without spot to God , purge (5692 ) your conscience from dead works to serve (5721 ) the living (5723 ) God ? * And for this cause he is (5748 ) the mediator of the new testament , that by means (5637 ) of death , for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament , they which are called (5772 ) might receive (5632 ) the promise of eternal inheritance . * For where a testament is , there must also of necessity be (5745 ) the death of the testator (5642 ). * For a testament is of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength (5719 ) at all while the testator (5642 ) liveth (5719 ). * Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated (5769 ) without blood . * For when Moses had spoken (5685 ) every precept to all the people according to the law , he took (5631 ) the blood of calves and of goats , with water , and scarlet wool , and hyssop , and sprinkled (5656 ) both the book , and all the people , * Saying (5723 ), This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined (5662 ) unto you . * Moreover he sprinkled (5656 ) with blood both the tabernacle , and all the vessels of the ministry . * And almost all things are by the law purged (5743 ) with blood ; and without shedding of blood is (5736 ) no remission . * It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified (5745 ) with these ; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these . * For Christ is not entered (5627 ) into the holy places made with hands , which are the figures of the true ; but into heaven itself , now to appear (5683 ) in the presence of God for s : * Nor yet that he should offer (5725 ) himself often , as the high priest entereth (5736 ) into the holy place every year with blood of others ; * For then must (5713 ) he often have suffered (5629 ) since the foundation of the world : but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared (5769 ) to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself . * And as it is appointed (5736 ) unto men once to die (5629 ), but after this the judgment : * So Christ was once offered (5685 ) to bear (5629 ) the sins of many ; and unto them that look (5740 ) for him shall he appear (5701 ) the second time without sin unto salvation .
