Hebrews 9:6-10
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests (A)are continually entering the first part of the tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7 but into (B)the second, only (C)the high priest enters (D)once a year, (E)not without taking blood, which he (F)offers for himself and for the [a](G)sins of the people committed in ignorance. 8 (H)The Holy Spirit is indicating this, (I)that the way into the holy places has not yet been manifested while that first part of the tabernacle is still standing, 9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly (J)both gifts and sacrifices are offered which (K)cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to (L)food and (M)drink and various (N)washings, (O)requirements for the [b]body imposed until (P)a time of reformation.

Hebrews 9:6-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 After these things had been furnished in this way, the priests would always enter the first room of the tent to perform their ministries. 7 But only the high priest would enter the second section of the tent, once each year, and not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people committed in ignorance. 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that, while the first room of the tent existed, a way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed.
9 This tent is a picture pointing to the present time. Since it is only a picture, the gifts and sacrifices that are brought there are not able to clear the conscience of the worshipper. 10 They are only bodily regulations about foods, drinks, and various washings, which were in force until the time of the new order.
