9 Now indeed the first covenant had regulations for worship and the earthly holy place, 2 for a tabernacle was prepared, the first one, in which were both the lampstand and the table, and the presentation of the loaves, which is called ‘Holy,’ 3 and behind the second curtain was a tent which is called ‘the Holy of Holies,’ 4 having a golden incense altar and the ark of the covenant, having been covered completely all around with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tablets of the covenant, 5 and above it, cherubim of glory overshadowing the atonement lid, about which things it is not now the time to speak according to each part. 6 And when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always enter into the first tabernacle, performing their services; 7 but into the second tent, once in the year only the high priest enters, and not without blood that he offers on behalf of himself and of the unintentional sins of the people. 8 This is what the Holy Spirit is making clear, that the way of the holy places is not yet to be revealed, the first tabernacle still having a place, 9 which is a parable for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are being offered, not being able according to the conscience to perfect the worshiper, 10 only concerning foods and drinks and different baptisms, regulations of the body, being imposed until a time of new order.
11 But Christ, having come as a high priest of the good things having come into existence, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by human hands, that is, not of this creation;[fn] 12 and not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered into the holy places once and never again, having himself obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and sprinkling ashes of a heifer on the ones that had been defiled sanctifies them for the cleansing of their flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your[fn] conscience from dead works to serve the living God! 15 And for this reason, he is a mediator of a new covenant, so that, a death having happened for redemption of the transgressions related to the first covenant, the ones called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a covenant, there is a necessity for the death of the one having covenanted it to be proven. 17 For a covenant is in force on the basis of the dead, because it never has force when the one covenanting it lives. 18 So not even the first covenant had been inaugurated without blood. 19 For every command having been spoken according to the law by Moses to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and red wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” 21 And in a similar way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the containers of the service. 22 And according to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Therefore it is necessary on the one hand for the examples of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but on the other hand, the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these, 24 for Christ did not enter into holy places made with hands—copies of the true ones—but into heaven itself, to be made visible now in the presence of God on our behalf, 25 and not in order to offer himself many times, even as the high priest enters into the holy places each year with blood that is not his own; 26 since it was necessary for him to suffer many times from the foundation of the world. But now he has been revealed once at the end of the ages for the annulment of sin through the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as it is appointed to men to die once, and after that, the judgment, 28 so also, Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many people, will appear for a second time, apart from sin, for salvation to the ones eagerly waiting for him.
Other versions read, Christ came as a high priest of the good things that are to come.
