4 which had the agolden censer and bthe ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were cthe golden pot that had the manna, dAaron’s rod that budded, and ethe tablets of the covenant;
5 and aabove it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
Limitations of the Earthly Service
6 Now when these things had been thus prepared, athe priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.
7 But into the second part the high priest went alone aonce a year, not without blood, which he offered for bhimself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance;
8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that athe way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered awhich cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience—
10 concerned only with afoods and drinks, bvarious washings, cand fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
The Heavenly Sanctuary
11 But Christ came as High Priest of athe good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
12 Not awith the blood of goats and calves, but bwith His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place conce for all, dhaving obtained eternal redemption.
