Hebrews 9:6-10
World English Bible
6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services, 7 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people. 8 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9 This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect, 10 being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

English Standard Version
6 These preparations having thus been made, (A)the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, 7 but into the second only (B)the high priest goes, and he but (C)once a year, and not without taking blood, (D)which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that (E)the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing 9 (which is symbolic for the present age).[a] According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered (F)that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with (G)food and drink and (H)various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.
