Hebrews 9:2-14

LITV(i) 2 For the first tabernacle was prepared, in which was both the lampstand and the table, and the setting out of the loaves, which is called holy. 3 But behind the second veil is a tabernacle, that called Holy of Holies, 4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on all sides with gold, in which was the golden pot having the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5 and above it the cherubs of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat (about which now is not time to speak piece by piece). 6 And these having been prepared thus, the priests go into the first tabernacle through all, completing the services. 7 But into the second the high priest goes alone once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and the ignorances of the people; 8 the Holy Spirit signifying by this that the way of the Holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle still having standing; 9 which was a parable for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, but as regards conscience, not being able to perfect the one serving, 10 but only on foods and drinks, and various washings, and fleshly ordinances, until the time of setting things right has been imposed. 11 But Christ having appeared as a High Priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 12 nor through the blood of goats and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the Holy of Holies, having procured everlasting redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats, and ashes of a heifer sprinkling those having been defiled, sanctifies to the purity of the flesh, 14 by how much more the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God), will purify your conscience from dead works for the serving of the living God!
