ASV_Strong : Hebrews 9
1. Now[G3767, Ezekiel3] even[G2532] a first[G4413] covenant had[G2192] ordinances[G1345] of divine service[G2999], and[G5037] its sanctuary[G39], a sanctuary of this world[G2886].
2. For[G1063] there was[G2680] a tabernacle[G4633] prepared[G2680], the first[G4413], wherein[G3739, 1722] were[G5037] the candlestick[G3087], and[G2532] the table[G5132], and[G2532] the showbread[G740]; which[G3748] is called[G3004] the Holy place[G39].
3. And[G1161] after[G3326] the[G2665] second[G1208] veil[G2665], the tabernacle[G4633] which is called[G3004] the Holy[G39] of holies[G39];
4. having[G2192] a golden[G5552] altar[G2369] of incense[G2532], and the ark[G2787] of the covenant[G1242] overlaid[G4028] round about[G3840] with gold[G5553], wherein[G3739, 1722] was a golden[G5552] pot[G4713] holding[G2192] the manna[G3131], and[G2532] Aaron[G2]'s rod[G4464] that budded[G985], and[G2532] the tables[G4109] of the covenant[G1242];
5. and[G1161] above[G5231] it[G846] cherubim[G5502] of glory[G1391] overshadowing[G2683] the mercy-seat[G2435]; of[G4012] which[G3739] things we cannot[G2076, 3756] now[G3568] speak[G3004, 2596] severally[G3313].
6. Now[G1161] these things[G5130] having been[G2680] thus[G3779] prepared[G2680], the priests[G2409] go[G1524] in[G3303] continually[G1275] into[G1519] the first[G4413] tabernacle[G4633], accomplishing[G2005] the services[G2999];
7. but[G1161] into[G1519] the second[G1208] the high priest[G749] alone[G3441], once[G530] in the year[G1763], not[G3756] without[G5565] blood[G129], which[G3739] he offereth[G4374] for[G5228] himself[G1438], and[G2532] for the errors[G51] of the people[G2992]:
8. the Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151] this[G5124] signifying[G1213], that the way[G3598] into the holy place[G39] hath[G5319] not yet[G3380] been made manifest[G5319], while the first[G4413] tabernacle[G4633] is[G2192] yet[G2089] standing[G4714];
9. which[G3748] is a figure[G3850] for[G1519] the time[G2540] present[G1764]; according[G2596] to which[G3739] are offered[G4374] both[G5037] gifts[G1435] and[G2532] sacrifices[G2378] that[G3361] cannot[G1410], [G3361] as touching[G2596] the conscience[G4893], make[G5048] the worshipper[G3000] perfect[G5048],
10. being only[G3440] (with[G1909] meats[G1033] and[G2532] drinks[G4188] and[G2532] divers[G1313] washings[G909]) [G2532] carnal[G4561] ordinances[G1345], imposed[G1945] until[G3360] a time[G2540] of reformation[G1357].
11. But[G1161] Christ[G5547] having come[G3854] a high priest[G749] of the good things[G18] to come[G3195], through[G1223] the greater[G3173] and[G2532] more perfect[G5046] tabernacle[G4633], not[G3756] made with hands[G5499], that is to say[G5123], not[G3756] of this[G5025] creation[G2937],
12. nor[G3761] yet through[G1223] the blood[G129] of goats[G5131] and[G2532] calves[G3448], but[G1161] through[G1223] his own[G2398] blood[G129], entered in[G1525] once[G2178] for all into[G1519] the holy place[G39], having obtained[G2147] eternal[G166] redemption[G3085].
13. For[G1063] if[G1487] the blood[G129] of goats[G5131] and[G2532] bulls[G5022], and[G2532] the ashes[G4700] of a heifer[G1151] sprinkling[G4472] them that have been defiled[G2840], sanctify[G37] unto[G4314] the cleanness[G2514] of the flesh[G4561]:
14. how much[G4214] more[G3123] shall[G2511] the blood[G129] of Christ[G5547], who[G3739] through[G1223] the eternal[G166] Spirit[G4151] offered[G4374] himself[G1438] without blemish[G299] unto God[G2316], cleanse[G2511] your[G5216] conscience[G4893] from[G575] dead[G3498] works[G2041] to[G1519] serve[G3000] the living[G2198] God[G2316]?
15. And[G2532] for[G1223] this cause[G5124] he is[G2076] the mediator[G3316] of a new[G2537] covenant[G1242], that[G3704] a death[G2288] having taken place[G1096] for[G1519] the redemption[G629] of the transgressions[G3847] that were under[G1909] the first[G4413] covenant[G1242], they that have been called[G2564] may receive[G2983] the promise[G1860] of the eternal[G166] inheritance[G2817].
16. For[G1063] where[G3699] a testament[G1242] is[G2288], there must of necessity be the death of him that made it[G5342].
17. For[G1063] a testament[G1242] is of force[G949] where[G1909] there hath been death[G3498]: for[G1893] it doth[G2480] never[G3379] avail[G2480] while[G3753] he that made[G1303] it liveth[G2198].
18. Wherefore[G3606] even the first[G4413] covenant hath not[G3761] been dedicated[G1457] without[G5565] blood[G129].
19. For[G1063] when[G2980, 5259] every[G3956] commandment[G1785] had been spoken[G2980] by Moses[G3475] unto[G2992] all[G3956] the people[G2992] according to[G2992] the law[G3551], he took[G2983] the blood[G129] of the calves[G3448] and[G2532] the goats[G5131], with[G3326] water[G5204] and[G2532] scarlet[G2847] wool[G2053] and[G2532] hyssop[G5301], and sprinkled[G4472] both[G5037] the book[G975] itself and[G2532] all[G3956] the people[G846],
20. saying[G3004], This[G5124] is the blood[G129] of the covenant[G1242] which[G3739] God[G2316] commanded[G1781] to[G4314] you-ward[G5209].
21. Moreover[G3668] the tabernacle[G4633] and[G2532] all[G3956] the vessels[G4632] of the ministry[G3009] he sprinkled[G4472] in like manner[G2532] with the blood[G129].
22. And[G2532] according[G2596] to the law[G3551], I may almost[G4975] say[G3956], all things are[G2511] cleansed[G2511] with[G1722] blood[G129], and[G2532] apart[G5565] from shedding of blood[G130] there is[G1096] no[G3756] remission[G859].
23. It was necessary therefore[G3767] that[G318, Ezekiel3] the copies[G5262] of the things[G3588] in[G1722] the heavens[G3772] should be cleansed[G2511] with these[G5125]; but[G1161] the heavenly things[G2032] themselves[G846] with[G2378] better[G2909] sacrifices[G2378] than[G3844] these[G3778].
24. For[G1063] Christ[G5547] entered[G1525, 1525] not[G3756] into[G1519] a holy place[G39] made with hands[G5499], like in pattern[G499] to the true[G228]; but[G235] into[G1519] heaven[G3772] itself[G846], now[G3568] to appear[G1718] before the face[G4383] of God[G2316] for[G5228] us[G2257]:
25. nor yet[G3761] that[G2443] he should offer[G4374] himself[G1438] often[G4178], as[G5618] the high priest[G749] entereth[G1525] into[G1519] the holy place[G39] year[G2596] by year[G1763] with[G1722] blood[G129] not his own[G245];
26. else[G1893] must[G1163] he[G846] often[G4178] have suffered[G3958] since[G575] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889]: but[G1161] now[G3568] once[G530] at[G1909] the end[G4930] of the ages[G165] hath he been manifested[G5319] to[G1519] put away[G115] sin[G266] by[G1223] the sacrifice[G2378] of himself[G846].
27. And[G2532, 2596] inasmuch as[G3745] it is appointed[G606] unto men[G444] once[G530] to die[G599], and[G1161] after[G3326] this[G5124] cometh judgment[G2920];
28. so[G3779] Christ[G5547] also[G4374], having been once[G530] offered[G4374] to[G1519] bear[G399] the sins[G266] of many[G4183], shall appear[G3700, 1537] a second time[G1208], apart[G5565] from sin[G266], to them that wait[G553] for him[G846], unto[G1519] salvation[G4991].
