Hebrews 9:6-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 And these things thus having been prepared, the priests accomplishing the services are continually going into the first tabernacle. 7 But into the second only the high priest goes once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and the ignorances[a] of the people—
God Was Making Clear That The Way Into The Holies Was Not Yet Revealed
8 ... the Holy Spirit making this clear: that the way of [b] the Holies has not yet been made-known while the first tabernacle[c] was[d] still having[e] a standing, 9 which[f] is[g] a symbol for the present[h] time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered not being able to perfect the one worshiping in relation to the conscience, 10 being[i] only (in-addition-to foods and drinks and different cleansings[j]) regulations of [k] flesh being imposed until the time of reformation.
