Hebrews 9

1 Then the first Testament had also ordinances of religion, and a worldly Sanctuarie.

The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one.

2 For the first Tabernacle was made, wherein was the candlesticke, and the table, and the shewebread, which Tabernacle is called the Holy places.

For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which [were] both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy;

3 And after the seconde vaile was the Tabernacle, which is called the Holiest of all,

but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,

4 Which had the golden censer, and the Arke of the Testament ouerlayde rounde about with golde, wherein the golden pot, which had Manna, was, and Aarons rod that had budded, and the tables of the Testament.

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which [were] the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;

5 And ouer the Arke were the glorious Cherubims, shadowing the mercie seat: of which things we will not nowe speake particularly.

and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now [the time] to speak in detail.

6 Nowe when these things were thus ordeined, the Priestes went alwayes into the first Tabernacle, and accomplished the seruice.

Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;

7 But into the second went the hie Priest alone, once euery yere, not without blood which hee offered for himselfe, and for the ignorances of the people.

but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

8 Whereby the holy Ghost this signified, that the way into ye Holiest of all was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing,

the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the [holy of] holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has [its] standing;

9 Which was a figure for that present time, wherein were offred gifts and sacrifices that could not make holy, concerning the conscience, him that did the seruice,

the which [is] an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered,

10 Which only stood in meates and drinkes, and diuers washings, and carnal rites, which were inioyned, vntill the time of reformation.

[consisting] only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until [the] time of setting things right.

11 But Christ being come an high Priest of good things to come, by a greater and a more perfect Tabernacle, not made with handes, that is, not of this building,

But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation, )

12 Neither by the blood of goates and calues: but by his owne blood entred he in once vnto the holy place, and obteined eternall redemption for vs. (aiōnios g166)

nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)

13 For if the blood of bulles and of goates, and the ashes of an heifer, sprinkling them that are vncleane, sanctifieth as touching the purifying of the flesh,

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ which through the eternall Spirit offered himselfe without fault to God, purge your conscience from dead workes, to serue the liuing God? (aiōnios g166)

how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living God? (aiōnios g166)

15 And for this cause is he the Mediatour of the newe Testament, that through death which was for the redemption of the transgressions that were in the former Testament, they which were called, might receiue the promise of eternall inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

16 For where a Testament is, there must be the death of him that made the Testament.

(For where [there is] a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.

17 For the Testament is confirmed when men are dead: for it is yet of no force as long as he that made it, is aliue.

For a testament [is] of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)

18 Wherefore neither was the first ordeined without blood.

Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.

19 For when Moses had spoken euery precept to the people, according to the Law, he tooke the blood of calues and of goates, with water and purple wooll and hyssope, and sprinckled both the booke, and all the people,

For every commandment having been spoken according to [the] law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20 Saying, This is the blood of the Testament, which God hath appointed vnto you.

saying, This [is] the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.

21 Moreouer, he sprinkled likewise the Tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministring vessels.

And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;

22 And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood, and without sheading of blood is no remission.

and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.

23 It was then necessary, that the similitudes of heauenly things should be purified with such things: but the heauenly things them selues are purified with better sacrifices then are these.

[It was] necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

24 For Christ is not entred into ye holy places that are made with hands, which are similitudes of ye true Sanctuarie: but is entred into very heauen, to appeare now in ye sight of God for vs,

For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

25 Not that he should offer himselfe often, as the hie Priest entred into the Holy place euery yeere with other blood,

nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;

26 (For then must he haue often suffred since the foundation of the world) but now in the end of the world hath he bene made manifest, once to put away sinne by the sacrifice of him selfe. (aiōn g165)

since he had [then] been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice. (aiōn g165)

27 And as it is appointed vnto men that they shall once die, and after that commeth the iudgement:

And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;

28 So Christ was once offered to take away the sinnes of many, and vnto them that looke for him, shall he appeare the second time without sinne vnto saluation.

thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
