Book 58 : HEBREWS - Chapter 009
009:001
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the
candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called
the sanctuary
009:002
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the
Holiest of all
009:003
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
009:004
And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of
which we cannot now speak particularly
009:005
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went
always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of
God
009:006
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
009:007
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
009:008
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
009:009
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and
carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
reformation
009:010
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
009:011
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
009:012
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
009:013
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
009:014
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
009:015
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the
death of the testator
009:016
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it
is of no strength at all while the testator liveth
009:017
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without
blood
009:018
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
009:019
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath
enjoined unto you
009:020
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all
the vessels of the ministry
009:021
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and
without shedding of blood is no remission
009:022
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
009:023
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
009:024
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others
009:025
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
009:026
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment
009:027
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
