Heb.9:1. And the first covenant, of course, had Some laws that served to achieve truth required the death penalty for sin. But this (New Testament) sanctification, that is, the law that sanctifies us through water, does not pass away, like that (Old Testament), but remains forever, replacing and rejecting the old law through the New Testament preached through Jeremiah. He then speaks about the tabernacle of time (temporary) and about everything that was in it, in order to reveal and prove that all this has passed away along with its transitory law. After all, it was impossible for all this to remain after the abolished law, since all this served only as symbols and prototypes of that true service to God, which will always remain. So, the Apostle again points out that the ministry that was in the temporary tabernacle, for which the Jews were especially proud, is also abolished, when he says: Hebrews 9:2. the first tabernacle... was... constructed in such a way that it had a lamp and a table Hebrews 9:3–5. In the tabernacle and in the inner one, which was called the Holy of Holies, under the veil... a censer of gold and an ark covered inside and outside with gold, and so on. But there is no need to talk now in detail and in order (about these subjects); for, although each of these objects was placed in its place for the performance of certain services, yet all these were only mysterious prototypes of this heavenly sacrament, so that when the truth appeared, there is no longer any need for us to turn to the shadows. Heb.9:6. the tabernacle is always the entrance or the priests, I perform my services, Heb.9:7. the second one was entered only once a year by one... the high priest - and, moreover, not without the blood that was brought for the people's sins... ignorance. Heb.9:8. the Holy Spirit pointed the way to the sanctuary, that is, through the law of the entry of the high priest into the Holy of Holies, the Holy Spirit pointed figuratively to the gospel that was to be revealed to the people. So, the outer tabernacle was a likeness and a "parable thereof" or a symbol referring to a certain time, since Heb.9:9. in it gifts and sacrifices... were brought such as could not be made perfect... people, as well as the “conscience” of those who performed the service, but they were concluded Heb.9:10. in food and drink and various ablutions hands and vessels and other objects - for "these were statutes (concerning) the flesh" or commandments of the priesthood, and not of the deity. And all this, as I said, was carried out above the law by the weak priests even “until that time” (Heb. 9:10) when God made correction - when he came Hebrews 9:11. Christ, high priest not small and man-made, but in great at yu and perfect at yu, which is not made by human hands, that is, not of this [such] creation, because it was also created from nothing, and not like the tabernacle, which was built from things stolen from the Egyptians (Exodus 12:35–36, 25:1–2). He came to enter like their priests, with the blood of goats and bulls, but, with His own Blood... He entered. Our Lord did not enter as the high priest entered every year, for He entered “once” not into that sanctuary that passed away with their priesthood, but “into the Holy Place” of Saints forever, and with His Blood accomplished the cleansing of all nations. Hebrews 9:13. For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on the defiled or leprosy or uncleanness of sleep, Heb.9:14. how much more is the blood of Christ, who not like their sprinkling - powerless and daily required, but through the Spirit and the Holy One, He... offered himself as an immaculate sacrifice to God - to clear our conscience, Heb.9:15. And therefore He is the Mediator of the New Testament, so that through His “death” the “redemption” of those who found themselves transgressors in the former covenant, so that... those who are called may receive the promise [promised] to an eternal inheritance. Having given us a covenant (testament) at the request of His truth and for our justification, He Himself, however, had to undergo death, for a testament becomes valid only when the one who wrote this testament dies. He also suffered death so that this testament would not be the same as the first, which without blood had no power, for the blood of a heifer was sprinkled on it, and not the blood of the testator (Heb. 9:16-18, Exod. 24:8). Hebrews 9:19–22. Taking someone else's blood [of bulls and goats], he sprinkled... the people... and the tabernacle and all the vessels her: because “everything... with blood... according to the law... was cleansed, and without the sprinkling of this blood of animals there was no remission of sin.” Heb.9:23. So, if these are images of heaven, that is, the prototypes of this sacrament are cleansed by the Heavenly Blood, is it not even more so the very... heavenly... had to be cleansed by the best of her sacrifices, Hebrews 9:24. Because... not in man-made the sanctuary, which was a reflection of the true sanctuary, entered... Christ... but into heaven itself to appear [appear] before... God Hebrews 9:25. And not in order to offer yourself again and again, He made the sacrifice through (His own blood, and not) someone else’s, (like the Old Testament high priest), from which the superiority of His sacrifice over those of the Old Testament is clear. Hebrews 9:26. Otherwise it would behoove Him... from the beginning of the world, understand after the transgression of the first commandment, again and die often: now, once at the end of time He suffered in order to atone for sin by sacrificing Himself, which subjected both the Jewish people and all pagans to death. Hebrews 9:27. How... people are supposed to die one day after death they will Hebrews 9:28. so did Christ one day no longer in order to die then for the sins for which he once died, but in order to appear in a new world, where those who hopefully expect salvation from Him will not have sins.
