The Earthly Holy Place

9 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and ^(A)an earthly place of holiness.

⁸ And let them make me a ^(A)sanctuary, that ^(B)I may dwell in their midst.

¹⁰ but deal only with ^(A)food and drink and ^(B)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 ^(C)of the good things that have come,^[a] then through ^(D)the greater and more perfect tent (^(E)not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)

² a minister in the holy places, in ^(A)the true tent^[a] that the Lord ^(B)set up, not man.

¹³ In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And ^(A)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

^7 (A)For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

⁸ See to it that no one takes you captive by ^(A)philosophy and ^(B)empty deceit, according to ^(C)human tradition, according to the ^(D)elemental spirits^[a] of the world, and not according to Christ.

⁶ And they were both ^(A)righteous before God, walking ^(B)blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.

¹¹ And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, ^(A)make known to them the design of the temple, its arrangement, ^(B)its exits and its entrances, that is, its whole design; and make known to them as well all its statutes and its whole design and all its laws, and write it down ^(C)in their sight, so that they may observe all its laws and all its statutes and carry them out.
