OET-RV HEB Chapter 9

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

9:1 Worshipping under the first agreement

9The first agreement had sacred rites and a holy place here on earth, 2because the tent of worship was set-up with a outer room called ‘the holy place’ where both the lampstand and the table were placed and the ‘bread of the presence’.[ref] 3Then past the second curtain was a room called ‘the most holy place[ref] 4having the golden incense altar and the box of the agreement which was completely gold-plated and which contained a golden jar of manna and Aaron’s staff which had sprouted and the stone tablets inscribed with the commandments.[ref] 5On the top of the box were the cherubs OF GLORY with their wings stretched out over the mercy seat which we won’t talk about right now.[ref]

6And then with all of that having been prepared, the priests entered past everything in the first room of the tent to carry out their sacred services.[ref] 7However, only the high priest enters the second room, and then only once a year. He can’t go with taking in blood which he offers for the sins of ignorance done by both himself and by the people.[ref] 8By that, the holy spirit was making it clear that the way into that holy place was not yet open to the public as long as that first tent of worship was still standing. 9This was an illustration intended for the present time when gifts and sacrifices are still being offered, but are not able to make the conscience of the one serving perfect 10only just physical matters of food and drinks and ritual washingsuntil the reformed system is instigated.

9:11 The messiah’s blood sealed a new agreement

11But when Messiah came as high priest over what had now become good through the greater and more perfect tent of worship which wasn’t put together by people and isn’t part of this world, 12he went once-for-all into the holy places—not by the blood of goats and calves but through his own blood—obtaining eternal redemption for us. 13Because if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled people with the ashes of a young cow[ref] could make them holy by physical purification, 14how much more the blood of the messiah who offered himself blameless to God, through the eternal spirit, will then purify your conscience from all useless deeds in order that we can serve the living God!

15So because of that, Yeshua is the mediator of a new agreement, so that his death leads to the ransom payment for those who’ve disobeyed the first agreement, so that now those who are called can receive the eternal inheritance.

16Where there’s an agreement like a will, it’s necessary for the death of the one who made it, 17because this type of agreement doesn’t come into effect if the person who made it is still living, but only when they’re confirmed as dead, 18so even the first agreement wasn’t valid without blood. 19Hence after telling all the people all the commandments according to the law, Mosheh then took the blood of calves and goats, along with water and scarlet wool, and hyssop branches, and sprinkled both the scroll and all the people[ref] 20saying: ‘This is the blood of the agreement which God commanded for you all.’ 21Similarly, he sprinkled both the tent itself and all the utensils for the ministry there with blood,[ref] 22and almost everything was declaredcleanaccording to the law, because there couldn’t be forgiveness without blood.[ref]

23So then it was necessary for these copies of things from the heavens to be purified, but in contrast, the heavenly things will be purified with better sacrifices than that, 24because Messiah didn’t enter human-made holy places that were only representatives of the true ones, but he entered into heaven where he now appears on our behalf in God’s presence. 25He didn’t offer himself like the high priest does every year with different blood, 26otherwise he would have needed to suffer over and over since the creation of the world. Instead he appeared just once throughout all the ages because sin has been annulled by his sacrifice. 27Just as it’s been determined that people will die once and then there’ll be judgement, 28so too the messiah was offered once as a sacrifice as an offering for the sins of many people,[ref] but will be seen a second time (nothing to do with sin) by those who’re eagerly waiting for him.
