Hebrews 9 (WEBP)

[1] Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.
[2] For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread, which is called the Holy Place.
[3] After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
[4] having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
[5] and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.
[6] Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,
[7] but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.
[8] The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.
[9] This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,
[10] being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
[11] But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
[12] nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.
[13] For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh,
[14] how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
[15] For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
[16] For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
[17] For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
[18] Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
[19] For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
[20] saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”
[21] He sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
[22] According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
[23] It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
[24] For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
[25] nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
[26] or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
[27] Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,
[28] so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Hebrews 9 (KJVS)

[1] Then verily the first covenant had () also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
[2] For there was a tabernacle made; () the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called () the sanctuary.
[3] And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called () the Holiest of all;
[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;
[5] and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing () the mercyseat; of which we cannot () now speak () particularly.
[6] Now when these things were thus ordained, () the priests went () always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing () the service of God.
[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;
[10] which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed () on them until the time of reformation.
[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;
[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.
[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:
[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. ()
[17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength () at all while the testator () liveth. ()
[18] Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated () without blood.
[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,
[20] saying, () This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined () unto you.
[21] Moreover he sprinkled () with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
[22] And almost all things are by the law purged () with blood; and without shedding of blood is () no remission.
[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.
[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:
[25] nor yet that he should offer () himself often, as the high priest entereth () into the holy place every year with blood of others;
[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.
[27] And as it is appointed () unto men once to die, () but after this the judgment:
[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.
