Now, in the first covenant there were ordinances of ministration, and a worldly sanctuary.

For the first tabernacle that was made had in it the lampstand and the table and the bread of the presence, and it was called the Sanctuary.

But the inner tabernacle, which was within the second veil, was called the Holy of Holies.

And there was in it the golden censer and the ark of the covenant, overlaid all over with gold; and in it were the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aharon that sprouted, and the tablets of the covenant;

and above it the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But it is not time to speak particularly of each of these things that were so arranged.

And into the outer tabernacle the priests at all times were entering and fulfilling their ministration.

But into the tabernacle that is inside from it, once a year only, the high priest was entering with the blood that he was offering for his soul and for the sins of the people.

And by this the Ruach haKodesh was making known that the way of the holy places was not yet revealed, so long as there was a standing for the first tabernacle.

And this was a parable for that time in which offerings and sacrifices were being offered that were not able to perfect the conscience of him who was offering them:

but only in food and in drink and in immersions of various kinds, which are ordinances of the flesh that are set until the time of the correction.

But the Mashiyach who came was high priest of the good things that he wrought, and he entered into the great and perfect tabernacle that was not made with hands and was not of these created things.

And he did not enter with the blood of goats and of calves, but with the blood of his soul he entered once into the sanctuary and obtained eternal redemption.

For if the blood of goats and of calves and the ashes of a heifer was sprinkled on those who were defiled and sanctifies them for the purification of their flesh,

how much more then will the blood of the Mashiyach, who by the Spirit that is forever offered his life without blemish to Elohim, cleanse our conscience from dead works so that we may serve the living Elohim?

For this reason he became the mediator of a new covenant, that by his death he might be redemption for those who transgressed the first covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

For where there is a covenant, the death of him who made it is shown.

For it is confirmed only over the dead person, because while the one who made it is alive it has no use.

Therefore not even the first covenant was confirmed without blood.

For when the whole commandment was commanded by Moshe to all the people in the law, Moshe took the blood of a heifer and water with scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled it on the book and on all the people,

and said to them, This is the blood of the covenant that was commanded to you from Elohim.

Also on the tabernacle and on all the vessels of the service he sprinkled from that blood.

Because everything is purified with blood according to the law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

For it is necessary that these things that are likenesses of the heavenly ones be purified with these, but the heavenly ones themselves with sacrifices better than these.

For the Mashiyach did not enter a holy house made with hands, which is a likeness of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear before the face of Elohim for us.

Neither was it necessary that he offer himself many times, as the high priest entered every year into the sanctuary with blood not his own:

otherwise he would have had to suffer many times from the beginning of the world; but now, at the end of the world, he has once offered himself in his sacrifice to abolish sin.

And just as it is appointed for men that they die once, and after their death comes the judgment,

so also the Mashiyach was offered once, and in his person he sacrificed the sins of many; and a second time, without sins, he will appear for the life of those who wait for him.
