1The first covenant, then, had indeed ordinances of religious service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Exodus 25:8, Exodus 25:8, Hebrews 9:10, Hebrews 9:11, Hebrews 9:10

2For a tabernacle was prepared, the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the holy place:

stylus

Exodus 40:4, Exodus 40:4, Leviticus 24:5, Leviticus 24:8, Leviticus 24:5

3and after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holy of holies,

stylus

Exodus 26:31, Exodus 26:33, Exodus 26:31, Exodus 26:33, Matthew 27:51

4which had the golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, wherein was the golden pot containing the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant;

stylus

Numbers 17:10, Numbers 17:10, 2 Chronicles 5:10, Exodus 26:33, Exodus 40:3

5and over it the cherubs of glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

stylus

Leviticus 16:2, Numbers 7:89, Leviticus 16:2, Numbers 7:89, Exodus 25:17

6Now these things being thus prepared, into the first tabernacle indeed the priests enter at all times, performing the services;

stylus

Numbers 28:3, Numbers 28:3, Exodus 27:21, Luke 1:8, Luke 1:11

7but into the second the high-priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people;

stylus

Leviticus 16:34, Leviticus 16:34, Leviticus 5:18, Leviticus 5:18, Exodus 30:10

8the Holy Spirit clearly showing this, that the way into the sanctuary hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing:

stylus

John 14:6, John 14:6, Hebrews 3:7, Hebrews 3:7, Hebrews 10:19

9which is a figure for the present time, in accordance with which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which have no power as to the conscience to perfect the worshipper,

stylus

1 Peter 3:21, 1 Peter 3:21, Hebrews 5:1, Hebrews 5:1, Romans 5:14

10being only ordinances pertaining to the flesh, which in addition to meats and drinks and divers washings are imposed until the time of reformation.

stylus

Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:16, Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:16, Hebrews 7:16

11But Christ having appeared, as a high-priest of the good things to come, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered once for all into the sanctuary,

stylus

Hebrews 9:23, Hebrews 9:24, Hebrews 9:23, Hebrews 9:24, 2 Corinthians 5:1

12not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

stylus

Hebrews 10:4, Hebrews 10:4, 1 Peter 1:18, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:18

13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

stylus

Numbers 19:2, Numbers 19:21, Numbers 19:2, Numbers 19:21, Acts 15:9

14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by his everlasting spirit offered himself without spot to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for the worship of the living God!

stylus

Hebrews 10:22, Hebrews 10:22, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 John 1:7

15And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the everlasting inheritance which was promised.

stylus

Romans 3:24, Romans 3:26, Romans 3:24, Romans 3:26, Romans 8:30

16For where there is a testament there must of necessity be implied the death of the testator;

stylus

1 Corinthians 15:22, James 2:10, 1 Corinthians 15:22, James 2:10, Romans 6:23

17for a testament is of force after men are dead, since it is of no force while the testator is living.

stylus

Genesis 48:21, Genesis 48:21, Galatians 3:15, John 14:27, Galatians 3:15

18Hence neither was the first covenant ratified without blood.

stylus

Exodus 24:3, Exodus 24:8, Exodus 24:3, Exodus 24:8, Hebrews 9:14

19For when Moses had spoken every precept according to the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

stylus

Exodus 24:5, Exodus 24:11, Exodus 24:5, Exodus 24:11, Hebrews 9:12

20saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined in respect to you."

stylus

Matthew 26:28, Exodus 24:8, Matthew 26:28, Exodus 24:8, Hebrews 13:20

21The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the service he in like manner sprinkled with the blood.

stylus

Leviticus 8:19, Leviticus 8:15, Leviticus 8:19, Leviticus 8:15, Exodus 29:12

22And almost all things are according to the Law purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

stylus

Leviticus 17:11, Leviticus 17:11, Leviticus 6:7, Leviticus 6:7, Leviticus 4:35

23It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

stylus

1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:21, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:21, Hebrews 10:4

24For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf.

stylus

Hebrews 12:2, Hebrews 12:2, Hebrews 9:11, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:11

25Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the high-priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

stylus

Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:7, Hebrews 9:7, Hebrews 9:14

26for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice.

stylus

Hebrews 9:12, 1 Peter 1:20, Hebrews 9:12, 1 Peter 1:20, Matthew 25:34

27And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment;

stylus

2 Corinthians 5:10, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Ecclesiastes 12:7, Ecclesiastes 12:7, 2 Samuel 14:14

28so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
