1 The description of the rites and bloody sacrifices of the law;
11 which are far inferior to the dignity and perfection of the blood and sacrifice of Christ.

2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

the priests. Ex 27:21 30:7,8 Nu 28:3 2Ch 26:16-19 Da 8:11 Lu 1:8-11

7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

11 But Christ being come an 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;

Christ. Ge 49:10 Ps 40:7 Isa 59:20 Mal 3:1 Mt 2:6 11:3 Joh 4:25 1Jo 4:2,3 5:20 2Jo 1:7

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

be. or, be brought in. 16

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Ge 48:21 Joh 14:27 *Gr: Ga 3:15

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

the first. 8:7-9 Ex 12:22 24:3-8

dedicated. or, purified. 14,22

19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

the blood. 12 10:4 Ex 24:5,6,8 *etc: Le 1:2,3,10 3:6 16:14-18

sprinkled. 12:24 Ex 24:8 Isa 52:15 Eze 36:25 1Pe 1:2

20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

This. 13:20 Zec 9:11 Mt 26:28

testament. Rather, covenant. Ver. 16, 17, may be better rendered, 'For where a covenant is, there must necessarily be the death of that by which it is confirmed; for a covenant is confirmed over dead victims, and does not avail while that by which it is confirmed liveth.'

See on De 29:12 Jos 9:6

21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

Ex 29:12,20,36 Le 8:15,19 9:8,9,18 16:14-19 2Ch 29:19-22 Eze 43:18-26

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

almost. Le 14:6,14,25,51,52

and without. Le 4:20,26,35 5:10,12,18 6:7 17:11

23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

the patterns. 9,10,24 8:5 10:1 Col 2:17

the heavenly. 11,12,14,24 10:4,10-17 Lu 24:26,46 Joh 14:3 1Pe 1:19-21 Re 5:9

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

the holy. 11 Mr 14:58 Joh 2:19-21

the figures. 9,23 8:2

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

offer. 7,14,26 10:10

as. 12 Ex 30:10 Le 16:2-34

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

the foundation. Mt 25:34 Joh 17:24 1Pe 1:20 Re 13:8 17:8

the sacrifice. 14 10:12,26 Eph 5:2 Tit 2:14

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
