But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

For {it is} not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

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? {spot: or, fault}

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;

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, {which are} the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, {that} thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once {for all}.

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body {is} of Christ.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, {there} ye may be also.

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, {and} not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, {which are} the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

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;

Then there arose a question between {some} of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, {that} thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

For such an high priest became us, {who is} holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, {and} not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. {provided: or, foreseen}

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) {fill: or, fulfil}

Blessed {be} the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly {places} in Christ: {places: or, things}

But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, {and} to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

[To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.] How amiable {are} thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! {for the sons: or, of the sons}

In my Father's house are many mansions: if {it were} not {so}, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, {boldness: or, liberty}

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. {of the sanctuary: or, of holy things}

He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea {was} for the priests to wash in. {such...: Heb. the work of burnt offering}

And this work of the candlestick {was of} beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, {was} beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

Therefore shall ye abide {at} the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, {even} the law of commandments {contained} in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, {so} making peace;

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.

Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle {with} ten curtains {of} fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: {with} cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. {of cunning...: Heb. the work of a cunning workman, or, embroiderer}

And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse {it}, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took {it}, to carry {it} out abroad into the brook Kidron.
