Hebrews:9:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And verily the first covenant also had ordinances of worship and a worldly sanctuary .
*
For there was a tabernacle prepared ,
the first ,
in which was the candlestick ,
and the table ,
and the shew-bread ;
which is called The holy place .
*
And after the second veil ,
the tabernacle ,
which is called The holy of holies ,
*
Having the golden censer ,
and the ark of the covenant ,
overlaid round about with gold ,
wherein was a golden pot having the manna ,
and Aaron '
s rod that budded ,
and the tables of the covenant :
*
And over it were the Cherubim of glory ,
shadowing the mercy-seat ;
of which we cannot now speak particularly .
*
Now these things being thus prepared ,
the priests go always into the first tabernacle ,
accomplishing their services .
*
But into the second ,
only the high-priest once a year ,
not without blood ,
which he offereth for himself and the errors of the people :
*
The Holy Ghost evidently shewing this ,
that the way into the holiest was not yet made manifest ,
while the first tabernacle was still subsisting ,
*
Which was a figure for the time then present ,
in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices ,
which could not perfect the worshiper as to his conscience ,
*
Only with meats and drinks ,
and divers washings ,
and carnal ordinances ,
imposed till the time of reformation .
