Hebrews 9:1-12

MKJV(i) 1 Then truly the first tabernacle had also ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary. 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 Holies. 3 And after the second veil was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, 4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. 5 And over it were the cherubs of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat (about which we cannot now speak piece by piece. 6 Now when these things were ordained in this way, the priests always went into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But once in the year into the second the high priest goes alone, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people) 8 the Holy Spirit signifying by this that the way into the Holiest of all was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9 For it was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him who did the service perfect as regards the conscience, 10 which stood only in meats and drinks, and different kinds of washings and fleshly ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11 But when Christ had become a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building 12 nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered once for all into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
