Hebrews 9:6-10
New American Standard Bible
6 Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests (A)are continually entering the [a]outer [b]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 [c](G)sins of the people committed in ignorance. 8 (H)The Holy Spirit is signifying this, (I)that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the [d]outer 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, (M)drink, and various (N)washings, (O)regulations for the [e]body imposed until (P)a time of reformation.

Hebrews 9:6-10
Christian Standard Bible
6 With these things prepared like this, the priests enter the first room repeatedly, performing their ministry.(A) 7 But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(B) 8 The Holy Spirit was making it clear that the way into the most holy place had not yet been disclosed while the first tabernacle was still standing.(C) 9 This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.(D) 10 They are physical regulations and only deal with food, drink, and various washings imposed until the time of the new order.(E)
