Hebrews 9:10

Hebrews 9:10 [Which stood] only . . . carnal ordinances. The Revised Version is much clearer: "[Being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances" Divers washings. "Baptisms" in the Greek. Immersions of the whole body were often required in the Jewish service. For examples see Exodus 29:4; Le 16:4 17:15 Nu 19:7. These washings were all carnal ordinances for ceremonial purification. Carnal ordinances. These rites pertained to the flesh, were outward, did not renew the spirit, and were temporal, imposed until the time of reformation. That is, until the new covenant was ushered in.
