The Earthly Tabernacle
The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one.
The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one.
The Old and the New
Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.
Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.
For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which [were] both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy;
For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.
but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,
Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which [were] the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;
having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant;
and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now [the time] to speak in detail.
and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;
Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship,
but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:
but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the [holy of] holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has [its] standing;
The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,
the which [is] an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered,
which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,
[consisting] only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until [the] time of setting things right.
since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.
Redemption through His Blood
But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)
But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;
nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption.
and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,
how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living God?
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
(For where [there is] a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.
For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.
For a testament [is] of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)
For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.
Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.
Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
For every commandment having been spoken according to [the] law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to 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,
saying, This [is] the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.
saying, “THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU.”
And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;
And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.
and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.
And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
[It was] necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.
Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;
nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.
since he had [then] been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice.
Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,
thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
