9:1 Now even a first (covenant) had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, (a sanctuary) of this world.
9:1 Now even the first [covenant] had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.
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.
9:2 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.
9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;
9:3 And behind the second veil, there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
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;
9:4 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.
9:5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.
9:5 And above it [were] the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
9:6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;
9:6 Now when these things have been thus prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle, performing the divine worship,
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:
9:7 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.
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;
9:8 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,
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,
9:9 which [is] a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,
9:10 (being) only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
9:10 since they [relate] only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.
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,
9:11 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;
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.
9:12 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.
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:
9:13 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,
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?
9:14 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?
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.
9:15 And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, in order 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.
9:16 For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it.
9:16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.
9:17 For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.
9:17 For a covenant is valid [only] when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.
9:18 Wherefore even the first (covenant) hath not been dedicated without blood.
9:18 Therefore even the first [covenant] was not inaugurated without blood.
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,
9:19 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,
9:20 saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.
9:20 saying, "THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."
9:21 Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.
9:21 And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.
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.
9:22 And according to the Law, [one may] almost [say], all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
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.
9:23 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.
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:
9:24 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;
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;
9:25 nor was it that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.
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.
9:26 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.
9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this (cometh) judgment;
9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this [ comes] judgment,
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.
9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without [reference to] sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
