NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hebrews 9

The Old and the New

1

Nowg3767 eveng2532 the firstg4413 covenant hadg2192  aregulationsg1345 of divineg2999 worshipg2999 and  bthe earthlyg2886 sanctuaryg40.

2

For there was  aa  1tabernacleg4633 preparedg2680, the  2outerg4413 oneg4387, in whichg3739 were  bthe lampstandg3087 and  cthe tableg5132 and  dthe  3sacredg4286 breadg740; thisg3748 is calledg3004 the holyg40 placeg40.

3

Behindg3326  athe secondg1208 veilg2665 there was a  1tabernacleg4633 which is calledg3004 the  bHolyg40 of Holiesg40,

4

havingg2192 a goldeng5552  1 aaltarg2369 of incenseg2369 and  bthe arkg2787 of the covenantg1242 coveredg4028 on allg3840 sidesg3840 with goldg5553, in whichg3739 was  ca goldeng5552 jarg4713 holdingg2192 the mannag3131, and  dAaron'sg2 rodg4464 which buddedg985, and  ethe tablesg4109 of the covenantg1242;

5

and aboveg5231 it were the  acherubimg5502 of gloryg1391  bovershadowingg2683 the mercyg2435 seatg2435; but of theseg3739 thingsg3739 we cannotg3756 nowg3568 speakg3004 in detailg3313.

6

Nowg1161 when theseg3778 thingsg3778 have been sog3779 preparedg2680, the priestsg2409  aare continuallyg1223g3956 enteringg1524 the  1outerg4413  2tabernacleg4633 performingg2005 the divineg2999 worshipg2999,

7

but into  athe secondg1208, onlyg3441  bthe highg749 priestg749 enters  conceg530 a yearg1763,  dnot withoutg5565 taking bloodg129, whichg3739 he  eoffersg4374 for himselfg1438 and for the  1 fsinsg51 of the peopleg2992 committed in ignoranceg51.

8

 aThe Holyg40 Spiritg4151 is signifyingg1213 thisg3778,  bthat the wayg3598 into the holyg40 placeg40 has not yetg3380b been disclosedg5319 while the  1outerg4413 tabernacleg4633 is stillg2089 standingg4714b,

9

whichg3748 is a symbolg3850b for the presentg1764 timeg2540. Accordinglyg2596  abothg5037 giftsg1435 and sacrificesg2378 are offeredg4374 which  bcannotg1410g3361 makeg5048 the worshiperg3000 perfectg5048 in conscienceg4893,

10

since they relate onlyg3440 to  afoodg1033 and  bdrinkg4188 and variousg1313  cwashingsg909,  dregulationsg1345 for the  1bodyg4561 imposedg1945 untilg3360  ea timeg2540 of reformationg1357b.

11

But when Christg5547 appearedg3854 as a  ahighg749 priestg749 of the  bgoodg18 thingsg18  1to comeg1096, He entered throughg1223  cthe greaterg3173 and moreg5046 perfectg5046  2tabernacleg4633,  dnot madeg5499 with handsg5499, that is to say,  enot of thisg3778 creationg2937;

12

and not throughg1223  athe bloodg129 of goatsg5131 and calvesg3448, but  bthroughg1223 His owng2398 bloodg129, He  centeredg1525 the holyg40 placeg40  donceg2178 for allg2178,  1having obtainedg2147  eeternalg166 redemptiong3085.

13

For ifg1487  athe bloodg129 of goatsg5131 and bullsg5022 and  bthe ashesg4700 of a heiferg1151 sprinklingg4472 thoseg3588 who have been defiledg2840 sanctifyg37 for the  1cleansingg2514 of the fleshg4561,

14

howg4214 muchg4214 moreg3123 will  athe bloodg129 of Christg5547, whog3739 throughg1223  1 bthe eternalg166 Spiritg4151  cofferedg4374 Himselfg1438 withoutg299b blemishg299b to Godg2316,  dcleanseg2511  2your conscienceg4893 from  edeadg3498 worksg2041 to serveg3000  fthe livingg2198 Godg2316?

15

For thisg3778 reasong1223  aHe is the  bmediatorg3316 of a  cnewg2537 covenantg1242, sog3704 that, since a deathg2288 has takeng1096 placeg1096 for the redemptiong629 of the transgressionsg3847 that were committed underg1909 the firstg4413 covenantg1242, thoseg3588 who have been  dcalledg2564 may  ereceiveg2983 the promiseg1860 of  fthe eternalg166 inheritanceg2817.

16

For whereg3699 a  1covenantg1242 is, there must of necessityg318  2be the deathg2288 of the one who madeg1303 it.

17

For a  1covenantg1242 is validg949 only when  2men are deadg3498,  3for it is neverg3379 in forceg2480 whileg3753 the one who madeg1303 it livesg2198.

18

Thereforeg3606 eveng3761 the firstg4413 covenant was not inauguratedg1457a withoutg5565 bloodg129.

19

For when everyg3956 commandmentg1785 had been  aspokeng2980 by Mosesg3475 to allg3956 the peopleg2992 accordingg2596 to the Lawg3551,  bhe tookg2983 the  cbloodg129 of the calvesg3448 and the goatsg5131, with  dwaterg5204 and scarletg2847 woolg2053 and hyssopg5301, and sprinkledg4472 bothg5037  ethe bookg975 itselfg846 and allg3956 the peopleg2992,

20

sayingg3004, " aTHISg3778 IS THE BLOODg129 OF THE COVENANTg1242 WHICHg3739 GODg2316 COMMANDEDg1781 YOU."

21

And in the sameg3668 wayg3668 he  asprinkledg4472 bothg2532 the  1tabernacleg4633 and allg3956 the vesselsg4632 of the ministryg3009 with the bloodg129.

22

And accordingg2596 to the  1Lawg3551, one may  aalmostg4975 say, allg3956 thingsg3956 are cleansedg2511 with bloodg129, and  bwithoutg5565 sheddingg130 of bloodg130 there is nog3756 forgivenessg859.

23

Thereforeg3767 it was necessaryg318 for the  acopiesg5262 of the things in the heavensg3772 to be cleansedg2511 with theseg3778, but  athe heavenlyg2032 thingsg2032 themselvesg846 with betterg2909 sacrificesg2378 thang3844 theseg3778.

24

For Christg5547  adid not enterg1525 a holyg40 placeg40 madeg5499 with handsg5499, a mere copyg499 of  bthe trueg228 oneg228, but into  cheaveng3772 itselfg846, nowg3568  dto appearg1718 in the presenceg4383 of Godg2316 for us;

25

norg3761 was it that He would offerg4374 Himselfg1438 ofteng4178, as  athe highg749 priestg749 entersg1525  bthe holyg40 placeg40  ayearg1763 by yearg1763 with bloodg129 that is not his owng245.

26

Otherwiseg1893, He would have neededg1163 to sufferg3958 ofteng4178 sinceg575  athe foundationg2602 of the worldg2889; but nowg3570  bonceg530 at  cthe consummationg4930 of the agesg165 He has been  dmanifestedg5319 to putg115 awayg115 sing266  1 eby the sacrificeg2378 of Himselfg846.

27

And inasmuchg2596g3745 as  ait is  1appointedg606 for meng444 to dieg599 onceg530 and afterg3326 thisg3778  bcomes judgmentg2920,

28

sog3779 Christg5547 alsog2532, having been  aofferedg4374 onceg530 to  bbearg399 the sinsg266 of manyg4183, will appearg3708  ca secondg1208 timeg1208 for  dsalvationg4991  ewithoutg5565 reference to sing266, to thoseg3588 who  feagerlyg553 awaitg553 Him.
