 9:1  Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of
divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
 9:2  For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was]
the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is
called the sanctuary.
 9:3  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called
the Holiest of all;
 9:4  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;
 9:5  And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the
mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
 9:6  Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests
went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the
service [of God].
 9:7  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:
 9:8  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:
 9:9  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;
 9:10  [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers
washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the
time of reformation.
 9:11  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;
 9:12  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].
 9:13  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of
an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying
of the flesh:
 9:14  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?
 9:15  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.
 9:16  For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity
be the death of the testator.
 9:17  For a testament [is] of force after men are dead:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator
liveth.
 9:18  Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated
without blood.
 9:19  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,
 9:20  Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God
hath enjoined unto you.
 9:21  Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle,
and all the vessels of the ministry.
 9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood;
and without shedding of blood is no remission.
 9:23  [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.
 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:
 9:25  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high
priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of
others;
 9:26  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.
 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment:
 9:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time
without sin unto salvation.
