1 Now indeed therefore the first had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary.

2 For a tabernacle was prepared, the first in which was also the lampstand, and the table, and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the Holy place.

3 And behind the second curtain, the tabernacle called the Holy of holies,

4 having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid entirely in gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

5 And above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness, about which things it is not now to speak in detail.

6 And these things thus having been prepared, the priests indeed enter into the first part of the tabernacle continually, accomplishing the services.

7 But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people,

8 this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains.

9 Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience,

10 only in foods and drinks and various washings: carnal ordinances imposed until a time of reformation.

11 But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption.

13 For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,

14 how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?

15 And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance.

16 For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant.

17 For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives.

18 Whereupon neither has the first been dedicated without blood.

19 For of every commandment according to law that was spoken by Moses to all the people, after taking the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20 saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God made for you.

21 And likewise he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service.

22 And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood, and remission does not occur without bloodshed.

23 Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.

24 For the Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, representative of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

25 And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,

26 since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, judgment,

28 so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

1 That fyrst tabernacle verely had ordinaunces and servynges of god and wordly holynes.

2 For there was a fore tabernacle made wherin was the candlesticke and the table and the shewe breed which is called wholy.

3 But with in the secode vayle was ther a tabernacle which is called holiest of all

4 which had the golden senser and the arcke of the testamet overlayde round about with golde wherin was the golden pot with manna and Aarons rodde that spronge and the tables of the testament.

5 Over the arcke were the cherubis of glory shadowynge the seate of grace. Of which thynges we wyll not now speake perticularly.

6 When these thynges were thus ordeyned the prestes went all wayes into the fyrst tabernacle and executed the service of god.

7 But into the seconde went the hye prest alone once every yeare: and not with out bloud which he offered for him silfe and for the ignoraunce of ye people.

8 Wherwith ye holy goost this signifyeng yt the waye of holy thynges was not yet opened whill as yet ye fyrst tabernacle was stondynge.

9 Which was a similitude for the tyme then present and in which were offered gyftes and sacrifises that coulde not make them that minister parfecte as pertaynynge to the conscience

10 with only meates and drinkes and divers wesshynges and iustifyinges of the flesshe which were ordeyned vntyll the tyme of reformacion.

11 But Christ beynge an hye prest of good thynges to come came by a greater and a moare parfecte tabernacle not made with hondes: that is to saye not of this maner bildynge

12 nether by the bloud of gotes and calves: but by his awne bloud we entred once for all into the holy place and founde eternall redemcion.

13 For yf the bloud of oxen and of Gotes and the asshes of an heyfer whe it was sprynckled puryfied the vnclene as touchynge the purifiynge of the flesshe:

14 How moche more shall the bloud of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete offered him silfe with out spot to God) pourdge youre consciences from deed workes for to serve the livynge god?

15 And for this cause is he the mediator of ye newe testament that thorow deeth which chaunsed for the redempcion of those transgressions that were in ye fyrst testamet) they which were called myght receave the promes of eternall inheritaunce.

16 For whersoever is a testament there must also be the deeth of him that maketh the testament.

17 For the testament taketh auctoritie when men are deed: For it is of no value as longe as he that made it is alive.

18 For which cause also nether that fyrst testament was ordeyned with out bloud.

19 For when all the commaundementes were redde of Moses vnto all the people he toke ye bloud of calves and of Gotes with water and purple woll and ysope and sprynkled both the boke and all the people

20 sayinge: this is the bloud of the testament which god hath apoynted vnto you.

21 Morover he sprenkled the tabernacle with bloud also and all the ministrynge vessels.

22 And almost all thynges are bye the lawe pourged with bloud and with out effusion of bloud is no remission.

23 It is then nede that the similitudes of hevenly thynges be purified with soche thynges: but the hevenly thynges them selves are purified with better sacrifises then are those.

24 For Christ is not entred into the holy places that are made with hondes which are but similitudes of true thynges: but is entred into very heven for to appere now in the syght of God for vs:

25 not to offer him silfe often as the hye prest entreth in to ye holy place every yeare with straunge bloud

26 for then must he have often suffered sence the worlde bega. But now in the ende of the worlde hath he appered once to put synne to flyght by the offerynge vp of him silfe.

27 And as it is apoynted vnto men that they shall once dye and then commeth the iudegement even

28 so Christ was once offered to take awaye the synnes of many and vnto them that loke for him shall he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacion.
