Hebrews 9	Hebrews 9
Hebrews 9:1 Now even a first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, [a sanctuary] of this world.	Hebrews 9:1 Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.
Hebrews 9:2 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.	Hebrews 9:2 For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.
Hebrews 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;	Hebrews 9:3 And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;
Hebrews 9:4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;	Hebrews 9:4 Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;
Hebrews 9:5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.	Hebrews 9:5 And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.
Hebrews 9:6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;	Hebrews 9:6 Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.
Hebrews 9:7 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:	Hebrews 9:7 But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:
Hebrews 9:8 the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;	Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;
Hebrews 9:9 which [is] a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,	Hebrews 9:9 And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,
Hebrews 9:10 [being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.	Hebrews 9:10 Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.
Hebrews 9:11 But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,	Hebrews 9:11 But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,
Hebrews 9:12 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.	Hebrews 9:12 And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:	Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:
Hebrews 9:14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?	Hebrews 9:14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.	Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.	Hebrews 9:16 Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.	Hebrews 9:17 For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?
Hebrews 9:18 Wherefore even the first [covenant] hath not been dedicated without blood.	Hebrews 9:18 So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.
Hebrews 9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto 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,	Hebrews 9:19 For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,
Hebrews 9:20 saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.	Hebrews 9:20 Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you.
Hebrews 9:21 Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.	Hebrews 9:21 And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.
Hebrews 9:22 And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.	Hebrews 9:22 And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 9:23 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.	Hebrews 9:23 For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:	Hebrews 9:24 For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.
Hebrews 9:25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;	Hebrews 9:25 And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;
Hebrews 9:26 else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.	Hebrews 9:26 For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.
Hebrews 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment;	Hebrews 9:27 And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;
Hebrews 9:28 so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.	Hebrews 9:28 So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.
