6 When everything (in the Sanctuary)
Had been Arranged Properly,
The Priests entered Regularly
Into the Outer Room
To carry on their Ministry.
7 But only the High Priest entered the Inner Room,
And that only Once a Year,
And Never without Blood,
Which he Offered for Himself
And for the Sins the People
Had Committed in ignorance.
The Holy Spirit was Showing by this
That the Way in to the Most Holy Place
Had not yet been Disclosed
As Long as the First Tabernacle was Still Functioning.
9 This is an Illustration for the Present Time,
Indicating that the Gifts and Sacrifices being Offered
Were Not Able to Clear the Conscience of the Worshiper.
10 They were Only a Matter of Food and Drink
And Various Ceremonial Washings--
External Regulations Applying
Until the Time of the New Order.
(Hebrews 9:6-10, NIV)
