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
New King James Version
Limitations of the Earthly Service
6 Now when these things had been thus prepared, (A)the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. 7 But into the second part the high priest went alone (B)once a year, not without blood, which he offered for (C)himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; 8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that (D)the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered (E)which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— 10 concerned only with (F)foods and drinks, (G)various [a]washings, (H)and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
