9:1
    [kjv]  Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
    [bbe]  Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.
9:2  
    [kjv]  For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
    [bbe]  For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.
9:3
    [kjv]  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
    [bbe]  And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;
9:4  
    [kjv]  Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
    [bbe]  Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;
9:5
    [kjv]  And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
    [bbe]  And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.
9:6
    [kjv]  Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
    [bbe]  Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.
9:7
    [kjv]  But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
    [bbe]  But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:
9:8  
    [kjv]  The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
    [bbe]  The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;
9:9
    [kjv]  Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
    [bbe]  And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,
9:10  
    [kjv]  Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
    [bbe]  Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.
9:11  
    [kjv]  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
    [bbe]  But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,
9:12  
    [kjv]  Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
    [bbe]  And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.
9:13
    [kjv]  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
    [bbe]  For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:
9:14
    [kjv]  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
    [bbe]  How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering o............
