地上和天上的圣所

原来连第一个约都有敬拜的礼仪和属世界的圣幕。 因为那预备好了的帐幕,第一层叫圣所,里面有灯台、供桌和供饼。 第二层幔子后又有一层帐幕,叫至圣所, 有金香坛和四周包金的约柜,柜里有盛吗哪的金罐、亚伦那根发过芽的杖和两块约版; 柜上面有荣耀的基路伯罩着施恩座。有关这一切我现在不能一一细说。

这些物件既如此预备齐了,众祭司就不断地进第一层帐幕行拜 神的礼。 至于第二层帐幕,惟有大祭司一年一次独自进去,没有一次不带着血,为自己献上,也为百姓无意所犯的过错献上。 圣灵藉此指明,第一层帐幕仍存在的时候,进入至圣所的路还没有显示。 那第一层帐幕是现今时代的一个预表,表示所献的礼物和祭物都不能使敬拜的人在良心上得以完全。 10 这些事只不过是有关饮食和各种洁净的规矩,是属肉体的条例,它的功效是直到新次序的时期来到为止。

11 但现在基督已经来到,作了已实现的美事的大祭司,经过那更大更全备的帐幕,不是人手所造,也不是属于这世界的; 12 他不用山羊和牛犊的血,而是用自己的血,只一次进入至圣所就获得了永远的赎罪。 13 若山羊和公牛的血,以及母牛犊的灰,洒在不洁的人身上,尚且使人成圣,身体洁净, 14 何况基督的血,他藉着永远的灵把自己无瑕疵地献给 神,更能洗净我们[a]的良心,除去致死的行为,好事奉那位永生的 神。

15 为此,基督作了新约的中保;因为他的死,赎了人在第一个约之时所犯的罪过,使蒙召的人能得着所应许永远的产业。 16 凡有遗嘱,必须证实立遗嘱的人已经死了。 17 因为人死了,遗嘱才有效力;立遗嘱的人尚在,遗嘱就不能生效。 18 所以,第一个约也是用血立的。 19 因为摩西当日照着律法将各样诫命传给众百姓,就拿朱红色绒和牛膝草,把牛犊、山羊[b]的血和水洒在书上,又洒在众百姓身上, 20 说:“这血就是 神与你们立约的凭据。” 21 他又照样把血洒在帐幕和敬拜用的各样器皿上。 22 按着律法,几乎每样东西都是用血洁净的;没有流血,就没有赦罪。

基督献己为祭除掉了罪

23 这样,照着天上样式做的物件必须用这些礼仪去洁净,但那天上的一切,自然当用更美的祭物去洁净。 24 因为基督并没有进了人手所造的圣所—这不过是真圣所的影像—而是进到天上,如今为我们出现在 神面前。 25 他也无须多次将自己献上,像大祭司每年带着牛羊的血进入至圣所。 26 如果这样,他从创世以来就必须多次受苦了。但如今,他在今世的末期显现,仅一次把自己献为祭,好除掉罪。 27 按着命定,人人都有一死,死后且有审判。 28 同样,基督既然一次献上,担当了许多人的罪,将来要第二次显现,与罪无关,而是为了拯救热切等候他的人。

  1. 9.14 “我们”:有古卷是“你们”。
  2. 9.19 有古卷没有“山羊”。

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

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;

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

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:

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:

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;

10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

11 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;

12 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.

13 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:

14 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?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 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:

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The Earthly Holy Place

Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and (A)an earthly place of holiness. For (B)a tent[a] was prepared, the first section, in which were (C)the lampstand and (D)the table and (E)the bread of the Presence.[b] It is called the Holy Place. Behind (F)the second curtain was a second section[c] called the Most Holy Place, having the golden (G)altar of incense and (H)the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was (I)a golden urn holding the manna, and (J)Aaron's staff that budded, and (K)the tablets of the covenant. Above it were (L)the cherubim of glory overshadowing (M)the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

These preparations having thus been made, (N)the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, but into the second only (O)the high priest goes, and he but (P)once a year, and not without taking blood, (Q)which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. By this the Holy Spirit indicates that (R)the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing (which is symbolic for the present age).[d] According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered (S)that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with (T)food and drink and (U)various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest (V)of the good things that have come,[e] then through (W)the greater and more perfect tent ((X)not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he (Y)entered (Z)once for all into the holy places, not by means of (AA)the blood of goats and calves but (AB)by means of his own blood, (AC)thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if (AD)the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with (AE)the ashes of a heifer, sanctify[f] for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will (AF)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit (AG)offered himself without blemish to God, (AH)purify our[g] conscience (AI)from dead works (AJ)to serve the living God.

15 Therefore he is (AK)the mediator of a new covenant, so that (AL)those who are called may (AM)receive the promised eternal inheritance, (AN)since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.[h] 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For (AO)a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated (AP)without blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took (AQ)the blood of calves and goats, (AR)with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (AS)“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both (AT)the tent and all the vessels used in worship. 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and (AU)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

23 Thus it was necessary for (AV)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (AW)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (AX)on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as (AY)the high priest enters (AZ)the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, (BA)he has appeared (BB)once for all (BC)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as (BD)it is appointed for man to die once, and (BE)after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once (BF)to bear the sins of (BG)many, will appear (BH)a second time, (BI)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly (BJ)waiting for him.
