1 ¶ Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. See also: Exodus 25:8 Hebrews 9:10-11 Leviticus 18:30 Hebrews 8:2 Leviticus 18:3-4
2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. See also: Exodus 40:4 Leviticus 24:5-8 Exodus 26:35 Exodus 26:33 Exodus 40:18-20
3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; See also: Exodus 26:31-33 Exodus 40:3 Exodus 40:21 Matthew 27:51 1 Kings 8:6
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; See also: Numbers 17:10 Exodus 26:33 Exodus 40:3 Leviticus 16:12 2 Chronicles 5:10
5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. See also: Leviticus 16:2 Numbers 7:89 Exodus 25:17-22 1 Kings 8:6-7 Leviticus 16:13
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. See also: Numbers 28:3 Exodus 27:21 Luke 1:8-11 Exodus 30:7-8 2 Chronicles 26:16-19
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: See also: Leviticus 16:34 Leviticus 5:18 Exodus 30:10 Hebrews 7:27 Hebrews 10:19-20
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: See also: John 14:6 Hebrews 3:7 John 10:9 Ephesians 2:18 Hebrews 10:19-22
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; See also: 1 Peter 3:21 Hebrews 5:1 Psalms 51:16-19 Romans 5:14 Hebrews 10:11
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. See also: Ephesians 2:15 Colossians 2:16 Leviticus 11:2-47 Hebrews 7:16 Exodus 30:19-21
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; See also: Hebrews 9:23-24 Acts 17:24-25 2 Corinthians 5:1 Hebrews 8:1-2 Hebrews 10:1
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. See also: Hebrews 10:4 1 Peter 1:18-19 Hebrews 9:15 Ephesians 1:7 Hebrews 5:9
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: See also: Numbers 19:2-21 Leviticus 16:14-16 Acts 15:9 1 Peter 1:22 2 Chronicles 30:19
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? See also: Hebrews 10:22 1 Peter 1:19 1 John 1:7 Hebrews 9:12 1 Peter 2:24
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. See also: Romans 3:24-26 Romans 8:30 Romans 8:28 Hebrews 9:12 Hebrews 10:36
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. See also: James 2:10 1 Corinthians 15:22 Romans 5:12 Romans 6:23
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. See also: Genesis 48:21 John 14:27 Galatians 3:15
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. See also: Exodus 24:3-8 Hebrews 8:7-9 Hebrews 9:14 Hebrews 9:22 Exodus 12:22
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, See also: Exodus 24:5-11 Numbers 19:6 Numbers 19:18 Ezekiel 36:25 Hebrews 9:12
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. See also: Exodus 24:8 Matthew 26:28 Hebrews 13:20 Deuteronomy 29:12 Zechariah 9:11
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. See also: Leviticus 8:15 Leviticus 8:19 Exodus 29:12 Exodus 29:36 Leviticus 9:8-9
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. See also: Leviticus 17:11 Leviticus 6:7 Leviticus 4:35 Leviticus 5:18 Leviticus 14:14
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. See also: 1 Peter 1:19-21 Hebrews 10:4 Hebrews 9:14 Hebrews 9:9-12 Hebrews 9:24
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: See also: Hebrews 12:2 Hebrews 9:11-12 Hebrews 9:23 Hebrews 8:2 John 16:28
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; See also: Hebrews 9:12 Hebrews 9:7 Hebrews 9:14 Hebrews 9:26 Hebrews 10:19
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. See also: Hebrews 9:12 1 Peter 1:20 Hebrews 1:2 Matthew 25:34 Hebrews 10:4
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: See also: 2 Corinthians 5:10 Ecclesiastes 12:7 Ecclesiastes 12:14 Acts 17:31 2 Samuel 14:14
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. See also: Titus 2:13 1 Peter 2:24 Isaiah 25:9 Romans 6:10 2 Timothy 4:8
