1 Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.1 The first promise had rules for the priests' service. It also had a holy place on earth.1 Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.1 The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one.
2 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.2 A tent was set up. The first part of this tent was called the holy place. The lamp stand, the table, and the bread of the presence were in this part of the tent.2 For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.2 For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which were both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy;
3 Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;3 Behind the second curtain was the part of the tent called the most holy place.3 After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,3 but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,
4 having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant;4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;4 It contained the gold incense burner and the ark of the Lord's promise. The ark was completely covered with gold. In the ark were the gold jar filled with manna, Aaron's staff that had blossomed, and the tablets on which the promise was written. 4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;4 having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;
5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.5 Above the ark were the angels of glory [with their wings] overshadowing the throne of mercy. (Discussing these things in detail isn't possible now.) 5 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't speak now in detail.5 and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now the time to speak in detail.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
6 Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship,6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.6 That is how these two parts of the tent were set up. The priests always went into the first part of the tent to perform their duties.6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,6 Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;
7 but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:7 But only the chief priest went into the second part of the tent. Once a year he entered and brought blood that he offered for himself and for the things that the people did wrong unintentionally.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.7 but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:
8 The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:8 The Holy Spirit used this to show that the way into the most holy place was not open while the tent was still in use.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;8 the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the holy of holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has its standing;
9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;9 The first part of the tent is an example for the present time. The gifts and sacrifices that were brought there could not give the worshiper a clear conscience.9 which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;9 the which is an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered,
10 since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.10 These gifts and sacrifices were meant to be food, drink, and items used in various purification ceremonies. These ceremonies were required for the body until God would establish a new way of doing things.10 being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.10 consisting only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until the time of setting things right.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;11 But Christ came as a chief priest of the good things that are now here. Christ went through a better, more perfect tent that was not made by human hands and that is not part of this created world.11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,11 But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)
12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.12 He used his own blood, not the blood of goats and bulls, for the sacrifice. He went into the most holy place and offered this sacrifice once and for all to free us forever.12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.12 nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of cows sprinkled on unclean people made their bodies holy and clean. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?14 The blood of Christ, who had no defect, does even more. Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself to God and cleansed our consciences from the useless things we had done. Now we can serve the living God.14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?14 how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God?
15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.15 Because Christ offered himself to God, he is able to bring a new promise from God. Through his death he paid the price to set people free from the sins they committed under the first promise. He did this so that those who are called can be guaranteed an inheritance that will last forever.15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.15 And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.16 In order for a will to take effect, it must be shown that the one who made it has died.16 For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.16 (For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.
17 For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.17 A will is used only after a person is dead because it goes into effect only when a person dies.17 For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.17 For a testament is of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)
18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.18 That is why even the first promise was made with blood.18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.18 Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.
19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,19 As Moses' Teachings tell us, Moses told all the people every commandment. Then he took the blood of calves and goats together with some water, red yarn, and hyssop and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,19 For every commandment having been spoken according to the law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 saying, "THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.20 He said, "Here is the blood that seals the promise God has made to you."20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."20 saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
21 And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.21 In the same way, Moses sprinkled blood on the tent and on everything used in worship.21 Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.21 And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;
22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.22 As Moses' Teachings tell us, blood was used to cleanse almost everything, because if no blood is shed, no sins can be forgiven.22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.22 and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.
23 Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.23 The copies of the things in heaven had to be cleansed by these sacrifices. But the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed by better sacrifices.23 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.23 It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.
24 For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:24 Christ didn't go into a holy place made by human hands. He didn't go into a model of the real thing. Instead, he went into heaven to appear in God's presence on our behalf.24 For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;24 For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
25 nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;25 Every year the chief priest went into the holy place to make a sacrifice with blood that isn't his own. However, Christ didn't go into heaven to sacrifice himself again and again.25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,25 nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.26 Otherwise, he would have had to suffer many times since the world was created. But now, at the end of the ages, he has appeared once to remove sin by his sacrifice.26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.26 since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice.
27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:27 People die once, and after that they are judged.27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,27 And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.28 Likewise, Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of humanity, and after that he will appear a second time. This time he will not deal with sin, but he will save those who eagerly wait for him.28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.28 thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
