1. Truly, then, the first covenant also had ordinances of service, and the earthly holy place.
|
1. Then G3767 verily G3303 the G3588 first G4413 covenant had G2192 also G2532 ordinances G1345 of divine service G2999 , and G5037 a worldly G2886 sanctuary G39 .
|
|
2. For the first tabernacle was prepared, in which was both the lampstand and the table, and the setting out of the loaves, which is called holy.
|
2. For G1063 there was a tabernacle G4633 made G2680 ; the G3588 first G4413 , wherein G1722 G3739 was the G5037 G3739 candlestick G3087 , and G2532 the G3588 table G5132 , and G2532 the G3588 shewbread G4286 G740 ; which G3748 is called G3004 the sanctuary G39 .
|
|
3. But behind the second veil is a tabernacle, being called Holy of Holies,
|
3. And G1161 after G3326 the G3588 second G1208 veil G2665 , the tabernacle G4633 which is called G3004 the holiest of all G39 G39 ;
|
|
4. having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on all sides with gold, in which was the golden pot having the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
|
4. Which had G2192 the golden G5552 censer G2369 , and G2532 the G3588 ark G2787 of the G3588 covenant G1242 overlaid G4028 round about G3840 with gold G5552 , wherein G1722 G3739 was the golden G5553 pot G4713 that had G2192 manna G3131 , and G2532 Aaron G2 's rod G4464 that budded G985 , and G2532 the G3588 tables G4109 of the G3588 covenant G1242 ;
|
|
5. and above it the cherubs of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat (about which now is not enough time to speak piece by piece).
|
5. And G1161 over G5231 it G846 the cherubim G5502 of glory G1391 shadowing G2683 the G3588 mercy seat G2435 ; of G4012 which G3739 we cannot G2076 G3756 now G3568 speak G3004 particularly G2596 G3313 .
|
|
6. And these having been prepared thus, the priests go into the first tabernacle through all, completing the services.
|
6. Now G1161 when these things G5130 were thus G3779 ordained G2680 , the G3588 priests G2409 went G1524 always G1275 into G1519 G3303 the G3588 first G4413 tabernacle G4633 , accomplishing G2005 the G3588 service G2999 of God.
|
|
7. But into the second the high priest goes alone once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and the ignorances of the people;
|
7. But G1161 into G1519 the G3588 second G1208 went the G3588 high priest G749 alone G3441 once G530 every year G1763 , not G3756 without G5565 blood G129 , which G3739 he offered G4374 for G5228 himself G1438 , and G2532 for the G3588 errors G51 of the G3588 people G2992 :
|
|
8. the Holy Spirit signifying by this that the way of the Holy of Holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle still having been standing;
|
8. The G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 this G5124 signifying G1213 , that the G3588 way G3598 into the G3588 holiest of all G39 was not yet G3380 made manifest G5319 , while as the G3588 first G4413 tabernacle G4633 was G2192 yet G2089 standing G4714 :
|
|
9. which was a parable for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, but as regards conscience, not being able to perfect the one serving,
|
9. Which G3748 was a figure G3850 for G1519 the G3588 time G2540 then present G1764 , in G2596 which G3739 were offered G4374 both G5037 gifts G1435 and G2532 sacrifices G2378 , that could G1410 not G3361 make him that did the service perfect G5048 G3588 G3000 , as pertaining G2596 to the conscience G4893 ;
|
|
10. but only on foods and drinks, and various washings, and fleshly ordinances, until the time of setting things right has been imposed.
|
10. Which stood only G3440 in G1909 meats G1033 and G2532 drinks G4188 , and G2532 divers G1313 washings G909 , and G2532 carnal G4561 ordinances G1345 , imposed G1945 on them until G3360 the time G2540 of reformation G1357 .
|
|
11. But Christ having appeared as a High Priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,
|
11. But G1161 Christ G5547 being come G3854 a high priest G749 of good things G18 to come G3195 , by G1223 a greater G3187 and G2532 more perfect G5046 tabernacle G4633 , not G3756 made with hands G5499 , that is to say G5123 , not G3756 of this G5026 building G2937 ;
|
|
12. nor through the blood of goats and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the Holy of Holies, having procured everlasting redemption.
|
12. Neither G3761 by G1223 the blood G129 of goats G5131 and G2532 calves G3448 , but G1161 by G1223 his own G2398 blood G129 he entered in G1525 once G2178 into G1519 the G3588 holy place G39 , having obtained G2147 eternal G166 redemption G3085 for us.
|
|
13. For if the blood of bulls and goats, and ashes of a heifer sprinkling those having been defiled, sanctifies to the purity of the flesh,
|
13. For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 blood G129 of bulls G5022 and G2532 of goats G5131 , and G2532 the ashes G4700 of a heifer G1151 sprinkling G4472 the G3588 unclean G2840 , sanctifieth G37 to G4314 the G3588 purifying G2514 of the G3588 flesh G4561 :
|
|
14. by how much more the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God), will purify your conscience from dead works, to serve the living God!
|
14. How much G4214 more G3123 shall the G3588 blood G129 of Christ G5547 , who G3739 through G1223 the eternal G166 Spirit G4151 offered G4374 himself G1438 without spot G299 to God G2316 , purge G2511 your G5216 conscience G4893 from G575 dead G3498 works G2041 to serve G3000 the living G2198 God G2316 ?
|
|
15. And because of this He is Mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having occurred for redemption of transgressions under the first covenant, those being called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
|
15. And G2532 for this cause G1223 G5124 he is G2076 the mediator G3316 of the new G2537 testament G1242 , that G3704 by means of death G2288 G1096 , for G1519 the redemption G629 of the G3588 transgressions G3847 that were under G1909 the G3588 first G4413 testament G1242 , they which are called G2564 might receive G2983 the G3588 promise G1860 of eternal G166 inheritance G2817 .
|
|
16. For where a covenant is, the death of him having covenanted must be offered.
|
16. For G1063 where G3699 a testament G1242 is, there must also of necessity G318 be G5342 the death G2288 of the G3588 testator G1303 .
|
|
17. For a covenant is affirmed over those dead, since it never has force when he who has covenanted is living.
|
17. For G1063 a testament G1242 is of force G949 after men are dead G1909 G3498 : otherwise G1893 it is of no strength at all G2480 G3379 while G3753 the G3588 testator G1303 liveth G2198 .
|
|
18. From which neither the first covenant was dedicated without blood.
|
18. Whereupon G3606 neither G3761 the G3588 first G4413 testament was dedicated G1457 without G5565 blood G129 .
|
|
19. For when every command had been spoken according to Law by Moses to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the scroll and all the people,
|
19. For G1063 when G5259 Moses G3475 had spoken G2980 every G3956 precept G1785 to all G3956 the G3588 people G2992 according G2596 to the law G3551 , he took G2983 the G3588 blood G129 of calves G3448 and G2532 of goats G5131 , with G3326 water G5204 , and G2532 scarlet G2847 wool G2053 , and G2532 hyssop G5301 , and sprinkled G4472 both G5037 the G3588 book G975 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 people G2992 ,
|
|
20. saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined to you." Ex. 24:8
|
20. Saying G3004 , This G5124 is the G3588 blood G129 of the G3588 testament G1242 which G3739 God G2316 hath enjoined G1781 unto G4314 you G5209 .
|
|
21. And he likewise sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the service vessels with the blood.
|
21. Moreover G3668 he sprinkled G4472 with blood G129 both G1161 the G3588 tabernacle G4633 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 vessels G4632 of the G3588 ministry G3009 .
|
|
22. And almost all things are purified by blood according to the Law; and apart from shedding of blood no remission occurs.
|
22. And G2532 almost G4975 all things G3956 are by G2596 the G3588 law G3551 purged G2511 with G1722 blood G129 ; and G2532 without G5565 shedding of blood G130 is G1096 no G3756 remission G859 .
|
|
23. Then it was needful for the figures of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.
|
23. It was therefore G3767 necessary G318 that the G3588 G3303 patterns G5262 of things G3588 in G1722 the G3588 heavens G3772 should be purified G2511 with these G5125 ; but G1161 the G3588 heavenly things G2032 themselves G846 with better G2909 sacrifices G2378 than G3844 these G5025 .
|
|
24. For Christ did not enter into the Holy of Holies made by hands, types of the true things, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,
|
24. For G1063 Christ G5547 is not G3756 entered G1525 into G1519 the holy places G39 made with hands G5499 , which are the figures G499 of the G3588 true G228 ; but G235 into G1519 heaven G3772 itself G846 , now G3568 to appear G1718 in the G3588 presence G4383 of God G2316 for G5228 us G2257 :
|
|
25. not that He should often offer Himself even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies year by year with blood of others;
|
25. Nor G3761 yet that G2443 he should offer G4374 himself G1438 often G4178 , as G5618 the G3588 high priest G749 entereth G1525 into G1519 the G3588 holy place G39 every year G2596 G1763 with G1722 blood G129 of others G245 ;
|
|
26. since He must often have suffered from the foundation of the world. But now once for all, at the completion of the ages, He has been manifested for putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself.
|
26. For then 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 in G1909 the end G4930 of the G3588 world G165 hath he appeared G5319 to put away G1519 G115 sin G266 by G1223 the G3588 sacrifice G2378 of himself G848 .
|
|
27. And as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, Judgment;
|
27. And G2532 as G2596 G3745 it is appointed G606 unto men G444 once G530 to die G599 , but G1161 after G3326 this G5124 the judgment G2920 :
|
|
28. so Christ having been once offered "to bear the sins of many," Christ shall appear a second time without sin to those expecting Him for salvation. Isa. 53:12
|
28. So G3779 Christ G5547 was once G530 offered G4374 to bear G399 the sins G266 of many G4183 ; and unto them that look for G553 him G846 shall he appear G3700 the G1537 second time G1208 without G5565 sin G266 unto G1519 salvation G4991 .
