Hebrews 9:23
Compare all
21 Then likewise ahe sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.  
22 And according to the law almost all things are1 purified with blood, and awithout shedding of blood there is no2 remission.  

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that athe copies of the things in the heavens should be1 purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  
24 For aChrist has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are1 copies of bthe true, but into heaven itself, now cto appear in the presence of God for us;  
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as athe high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—  
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
27 aAnd as it is appointed for men to die once, bbut after this the judgment,  
28 so aChrist was boffered once to bear the sins cof many. To those who deagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Hebrews 9:23

Hebrews 9:23 The patterns of things in the heavens. See Hebrews 8:5. The tabernacle and all its service were shadows. Should be purified with these. These were purified, as we have just seen, by blood. But the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices and these. By the heavenly things are meant all of which the tabernacle was typical. The holy place was a type of the church, which is cleansed with the blood of Christ. Perhaps, too, there is a reference to the redeemed church above, in the heavens, which eternally praises him who cleansed it with his blood.
